I was back in my laboratory mixing and munging and out comes a finish that is ridiculous.
It's a forged black steel with a hint of silver miniflake, a chrome substrate that results in a mirror finish topped off with a clear vision top coat.
Zoom in to see the detail. Taking mirror finishes to a new level.
Alex,
Awesome... whooo that would look so nice on a lot of machines..
Hope to be sending you stuff one day soon..
Quoted from zippydapinhead:Dude, thats sick! How many coin doors can you do at once?
Honestly? Probably 100 or so? (Not stern doors. I can do them but the coin slots and returns are plastic so those have to stay plastic black)
Quoted from Pinchroma:Probably 100 or so?
Group buy discount? Whos in?
Sweet. I may have to send you my foose wheels to redo them. Not happy with the flat black they are. If you do rims that aren't local pm me your rate please. They are 20 inch.
Ill group buy anything and discount batches. I wrote a php app to keep track of my mixes so I can duplicate mass batches.
Tons of off the shelf and not so off the shelf colors become amazing when combined.
In the powder world mixing yellow and blue powder doesn't make green. It makes a funky blue yellow hue

2 piece, 3 or monobloc. Just the centers or the lip done as well 
. All depends on whether I am taping or unbolting them.
Endless options when doing wheels.
P.S. I love the c3 and c4 Vettes.
Wonder if you could do the scoop on AFM in that color
The outside SOL scoop? Sure.
Afm is better suited to charcoal sparkle though. Check out the thread I made for PinmikeD and robertmee
Quoted from Capper96:Yes please remember that formula. That would be awesome on my creech
Yeah! Don't forget the formula!!! You've got a winner there!!!
Bwaaahahah. No way. If I have to do that machine again I'm going to do charcoal sparkle with a slatted stripe in the side rails to make it look like a highway to match the playfield
That would be sweet. If I stumble upon a spare set if rails I will send them your way. It will be your game someday after all.
It's pretty close. Black nickel is slightly smoother but BN is also about 1100 dollars to do the game in if you can find someone to do it. I don't think MikeC is doing it anymore and I don't anymore because the shit is caustic as hell.
I made this to try and mimic it as closely as possible. It's pretty close but I get creative freedom to overlay this on top of another color. I can do this with a blue hue or a green hue or a red hue.
Imagine "blue chrome"
Ill try to shoot some to see if I can photograph it. Very difficult to get the colors to show properly.
Lol. A few coats of clear helps but you are right. Salt screws it up something fierce. That's why on people's winter sets I recommend textured finishes. Significantly more rugged and you can do crazy crap with texture.
Quoted from Pin-it:Looks good Till the road salt gets to it.
Pin-it... You put road salt on your pin??? 
Quoted from jkmboler:Pin-it... You put road salt on your pin???
Nah Im saying the rims look nice ,but as soon as road salt gets on metal items it corrodes it something awful. 
On a pin ,nah unless your spilling soda on it! 
Quoted from Pinchroma:few coats of clear helps but you are right. Salt screws it up something fierce
Ditto on that ^^^^
You should see the brake and transmission lines I have replaced recently, they looked really rusted bad and getting swiss cheesed looking. 
*Dangerous to say the least* ,as a matter of safety you should check em` if any doubts.
Yeah if you put a few good coats of clear on them you have an edge over salt.
Save yourself time and money and ship it to Tommy Espo, that's the guy actually do the work.
