Hey fgssers, i'm curious about something. When i got my forks chromed, i asked the chap there if he could chrome rear dropouts, or maybe half the chainstay. He said he couldn't, and i didn't ask any more questions. So, does the chrome need to be the base layer before any powdercoating gets done? How does a section of the frame get chromed?
Punkpixles, are you going to mask off that chrome when you get it blasted and powdercoated?
By the way, armourtex do do sparkely, they did mine like this, and i'm sure they can do other colours than silver. But, you can also buy this thing online/ebay which you mix with the powder coat, and it gives a shimmer effect.like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Shimmer-Wine-Red-candy-paint-powder-coat-custom_W0QQitemZ280144969615QQihZ018QQcategoryZ28111QQcmdZViewItem
