Thought I would like to try something different on my totally chrome 77 FXE...... I took the front fender off this morning and am going to use that blackout paint and seal it... The chrome isn't in the greatest condition so why not. Any one try this before? I thought a little black tint ( more like a translucent paint) would look a little better than all the chrome... Before
First coat..

 

Reminds me of the "Black Chrome" back in the Day!!!
I always really Liked that...
Gonna be a Neat look.... Much better than Grill Paint!!!!

 

Here the second coat. I think I'm gonna leave it at that and clear it... Can't wait to get it back on the bike. Hard to truly tell till mounted... The sun kinda gives it a Black Pearl look w/flake.. I'm loving it....

 

I really like that. I have liked the idea of black chrome for a long time

 

Would be a cool thing on an old hot rod with all the big chrome bumpers and such too

 

I have had a "thing" for Black chrome since I first saw the stuff.... many moons ago!!
I am Not Certain it was not simply Powder Coat or Some-Such...
I [accidentally] shot a Black Chrome Piece with some #6, and it Chipped off... to Bare Metal!!

 

I think it looks pretty good Bob,I have a feeling you will be doing more pieces.

 

paint does not stick to a chrome finish like one would think it might

now you may have found a nu voe thing is my guess

 

Yea, I really like the way it came out going to install it in the morning... I plan on doing the tanks and rear fender as well... Thanks Kevin...
Yea I know it won't stock as well but I just wanted to see what it's like and I must say I really like it... What does nu voe mean?
