Chrome on aluminum; The pros & cons

[cubby]

A little help with the "black chrome"....

Black chrome is actually applied just like paint. It is a thin layer of real liquid metal on a product, sprayed on just like paint. It looks and feels as if it has been "chromed" not just painted. The finish is reflective and shines just like chrome, also like real chrome will not fade over time. Cost is probably as much a real chrome, but it comes in all metalic colors, gold, copper etc.
Hope this helps....

Hi James,

Excellent synopsis of this subject.

On another issue: how does "black chroming" differ to normal chroming - you've no doubt seen components offered with a deep and dark chroming apperance - is this the same process or some sort of advanced powder coating???

Many thanks
