Heres a couple of shots. The frame is chrome under the coating. The colour is black with a tint of ink blue. I believe it has about 6 coats of lacquer on top of the colour (according to the Diamond back site)

The forks in the photograph have been sprayed and you can see they are a bit too blue.

Be great if your guy could have a look. I'm doing some work in Newcastle so could drop the F&F off next time I'm in that neck of the woods.

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2009, 09:42 PM »

just had some fantastic news today hear is a email i recived from a sort of powder supplier

" quote 2lbs I will send it out Monday USPS and send tracking info then. The color can vary greatly depending on how it's sprayed, so you may want to shoot samples first. It is a translucent black, but has a dark blue tint. This was matched to an original frame, but some of them varied in color. "

Hope this helps

so this means if its right roll on harry leary turbo recoats

tigerbrown · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:33 AM »

Is it just me or does it look too blue??

P.S. Those White tuffs look fantastic on my build

andyb77 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:08 AM »

How much did the change form orange to blue on the Tuffs cost if you dion't mind me asking? Really want some blue ones but the price of 'em.......

i guess he could go from other colours too? white probably easier than black?

Cheers
Andy

kevin rettie · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:50 AM »

Hi Neil

The samples do look quite blue. My HLT frame still has a quite a bit of the coating on it so could compare the samples if you could get them to me. I could take some photographs for everyones reference.
