   If you use the search function and look for black chrome and smoked chrome you will find plenty of questions but few answers

I know that he's recently got the ability to do superchrome in black - like they do on night burners, not sure about shadow chrome though

Shameless plug of mark's work

I've got some mirror black chrome powder coming from the US, I will try it out on my mitygoose first to see what its like,i can compare it with the steerer tube on my proclass as it still has the original finish.

Last time I was in Trevors workshop (MidasTouch), one of the Burner blokes was in picking up some scrap metal, he did say Trevor knows of a company that can do black chrome. Could be worth a punt...

[DIRTBIKER250F]

Spoke to Trev Bren, he said he wouldnt 100% trust the guy who does it as my f&f + bars need strippin first. That was good enough for me

Its easy to do its a Smoke laquer over chrome hense most pro class has flaking, i've done a few easyest way it get it chromed then buy yourself a tin of window tint spray and spray the frame then i use 2pk laquer over the top as long as your good at spraying it comes out minty.

Bitd there were a few different "Black Chrome" finishes/processes .

The HL Turbo ( slight blue tint ? ) was the worst for coming off if sneezed on , the Pro Class was darker , the Night Burner more brownish .

I've a Vector MKII Black Chrome Ltd Ed and it's a different process from others , very black and much harder wearing . It looks to possibly be a layer of something over Nickel maybe , it did'nt go on very well between the twin downtubes near the headtube where it is lacking .

pm voris I am sure he will tell you what the finish is matt, may be similar to the GT baking Process?

I'm guessing it probably is , I did get close a couple of years ago to getting the contact details for the owner of Vector bitd but that kinda fizzled out  .

Voris Dixon's email addy is up on one of the other forums (Can't remember which )  He is super friendly and will help if he can I'm sure
