i don`t even think you can find anyone local to do regular chrome...

black chrome isnt a dipping process, its actually a paint from what i heard.

give panthers a call, i remember asking about this years ago and they said they can do it, otherwise you will have to go south, forgot the company name, but its located in Canton, OH.

Honestly its not a very common thing to do.. Best bet is too call all chromers and see if they know any referals. Knowing you, you have probably done that.. What about just over the boarder any vendors???

I know people on acurazine were dipping/spraying their emblems in black chrome... at least I think it was acurazine...

try Nu-Brite

Here's a thought... albeit a crazy one...

Have you thought about calling any of the local custom chopper/motorcycle shops?
Shops like Ivers, Azzkicker, etc?

They obviously don't do this kind of thing in house, but they might be able to give you some vendors that can do it...

Good luck with you search!

it is not common...thats y i want it !!
and yes i did call every where local include ppl in toronto and calgary, wheel shops and chroming place....seems like black chrome requires a completely different machine or method....some shows like sikindustries.com can do all sorts of colour chrome..but no BLACK CHROME....saids they don't have the machine.....makes me wonder

definitely recommend for u guys !!

also i got GOLD PLATING done across the street from KEY COATING called Specialty Plating
the guys there provides great service too !!!

typical asians that doesn't know how to respect others. You came here to ask a questions, we are here to help but not if you treat our suggestion like crap. What do you mean "ghetto spray crap don't work for you", plenty of us out there use "ghetto spray crap" for our DIY stuff. If you don't like the suggestion, just say it's not for you and move on. And btw, throwing money aren't going to solve all the problem in the world. I am your problem now, try throwing me money and see if i will go away :fullofwin:

Son, have you seen felixy's Fit? With the money he spent on it he could've bought a TL and be done with it.
