I think it looks good. Lonely_Raven 04-03-2005, 08:17 PM This really depends on what you mean by Black Chrome. Typical Black Chrome is a hard chrome based plating thats used in the military because it's hard, smooth, and can be made in gloss-semi-gloss-flat. But the Black Chrome that you and I would think of is typically a chrome that's been tinted, pigmented, or candied. My favorite was a black chrome that was very black, but when the light hit it, it flashed a purple chrome. Really sexy looking, and unfortunatly I never found out who made it or how. it was on some mexicans car at a flea market. I would totally do black chrome accents on my BOP box. But for your project, what I would probably consider is getting something like the B-Cool polished billet grill, and either have it candied or anodized. I think candied would look better, IMHO, you'd just need to pick a color. Fetthunter 04-03-2005, 09:51 PM "Black chrome" makes me think of "gunmetal" or "Hematite"... Anyone make a "gunmetal-colored" billet grill? :ponder: ugly_duck 04-05-2005, 06:28 AM ypu should be able to powder coat a nice gloss and it will stand up pretty good to chipping. |
