Yes it is. Looks good on that truck.

Has anyone done their bumpers in black chrome? Just wondering about how expensive of a venture it will be? Can the stock bumpers be powdercoated with a black candy to give it the effect? Or is it a whole new chrome dip?
Thanks Josh |

Black Chrome... can someone enlighten me abit... powder coating over chrome? I want to powder coat my PW wheels, this may be a good look if its possible on my wheels. anyone? anyone?

Black Chrome is like a tint that's done in the chroming process.
Check out my picture gallery for black chrome over SS exhaust tip. MikeyB |
First they chrome the wheel. Then a powder is applied and baked on. The end result is a very hard, almost impenetrable surface that protects the wheels against everything. It even had a dust-repellant-like auality about it.

Yes it is. Looks good on that truck. If that is the case, that black chrome will look excellent.:cool: The Photoshop of the black wheels in the Optimus pictures do not give a clear final look, as they are to dark and not shine enough. DWiggs, can you Photoshop the above wheel pictures in Optimus or better yet, get those 22.5s black chrome and put them on... and while you at it….. Black chrome the 2 stack pipes to match….finally black chrome the Dwiggs in the front……then….fill the application for the next DIESEL POWER east challenge event as I am going to have my money on the black truck![coffee] |

I doubt you could powdercoat the front bumpers because they are plastic and would melt. The only requirement for powdercoat is that the material to be powdercoated needs to be able to withstand the 400* baking temps. The same goes for black chroming because they first chrome the piece and then add a transparent black powder-like substance and bake it on (much like powdercoat).

Both of my bumpers are chrome. The front has a plastic painted top pad. I think it would look good with some contrast up front instead of all paint.
|
Go for it then. I would like to see what that looks like.

Wiggs, if you make the diesel power challenge east, are you gonna run your large wheels and tires??
