That looks the nuts Rob! I know how much you wanted that finish and how hard it was to find the powder. Your patients really paid off!
And another top job Dan!

If only I had something that needed painting!

yes mate no probs, one thing i do know is that if the chrome has marks that have cut through the chrome

it will show as small black marks when the red goes on :(

i painted a sample first and noticed the marks, then the sample with the chrome powder first was perfect ;)

You can get pretty much any colour in the translucent range from the US. I've done quite a few lately, especially MTB's and a few for guys on the burner forums. They look awesome,
Same idea as Dirtbiker250f's CW, Stella dave's custom Super Tuff or the standard Super/Super Tuff/Night Burners.

Nice job Dan!!!



Here's some Titanium on a Night Burner Mk1 that is shot straight onto the chrome

Hi Dan

The finish looks amazing.  :daumenhoch:

Don't suppose you could match the harry leary turbo smoke chrome finish?

Talk to PKRadman about that if Dan can't help  :daumenhoch:

Thanks Marty,
PKradman sent me details a while ago, great help. Not had the balls yet to make any moves on the F&F yet and just trying to look at all the options.
