just been looking at the new bike of the month on jamies site. the wheels have been painted in a paint called black chrome. anyone come across it in this country?

They look similar to my wheels... My colour was called 'black sparkle' Most good painters will probably have come across the new colour though if you ask.

Black Chrome is a finish that Micron used to offer on some of their systems, in particular, the Micralloy and Micron Hy-power versions asross the model board and on all Micron GP systems - excluding the cans that is.

It was a hard, high quality finish that looked a bit like a pearised racing green or very (very) dark green. I think the closest colour I've seen any vehicle painted in this sort of colour is my company Ford Focus in some sort of Pearl Black.

I don't know but I think the finish itself was applied in a similar way to Chrome or Nickle plating so if its on wheels then it's unlikely to be true 'Black Chrome'.

Easiest way would be to use a celly or synthetic black and blow a Pearliser over the top of it.
