Black chrome.......?

[98tls]

I like the look of polished wheels etc but was thinking about the odd set of mags on cars that ive seen and there kind of a black chrome....or at least a dark chrome........ive a set that i had painted but am not happy with them so was thinking of going this way for something different.........anyone know the technical name for the process and how expensive is it.........?

I know what you are wanting but can't think of the name either...

You can get black chrome but I don't think many electoplaters do it.
I got a gun barrel done once and it was quite expensive, so wheels would really be over the top.

how expensive are we talking about..........ive wasted a fair few $ on my old girl so far so a few more wont really matter.............

Can't remember how much it was as it was years ago and as I mentioned it is a specialised application and the gunsmith had a small electroplating tank with the black chrome solution in.
I don't think that many electroplaters would have a bath big enough to do wheels but I will try and find out for you as I have a friend who deals with electroplaters.
May be after the holidays before I can contact him though.
