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.

would help if the pic loaded properly..

Fixed.

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)

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.

The outside SOL scoop? Sure.

Afm is better suited to charcoal sparkle though. Check out the thread I made for PinmikeD and robertmee

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

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.

I certainly could... Remove the clear vision and change to an envision sparkle clear.

Yup. Figured it was more relevant

Yeah I don't like that dude

I wish robin could symlink my old name to new

Thanks guys.. It's a sweet color but its very light dependent. It looks pretty light in some lights and super dark in others

Thanks Chad. It's cool. He's been dogging me purposely for some reason. No worries.
