where to get wheels black chromed
Does anybody know of a place that can get my wheels Black chromed? I tried Artistic plating and they wanted $3000!!!!!! I have contacted a few other places but they were much cheaper (>$1300). But im still looking for even cheaper alternatives...

where are you located?? just to let you know Black chrome is not a powder coating process it's more of a plating like chrome and gold plating.
there is a place in Long Beach, CA called Artistic Plating they have the capabilities to plate, Zinc, Black Chrome, Satin Silver, Chrome, Silver, Gold, Copper basically any thing that has to do with plating they can do it. Any shade any color.
PM me and i will send you the number. i have the contact info @ work if i remember which i probably won't i will post it up here.

You wont find it much cheaper than $1300........
I wanted to black chrome my MF10s, the BEST price I got was about $1100 - but if you have wheels that are 2/3pc and need to be taken apart thatll cost more too unless you do it yourself...
Ill try to look through old emails and PMs to see what places I called....
But be advised - Black chrome is a bitch to take care of.

Well the guy at the shop had told me that you have to wipe it down CONSTANTLY. So I thought 'Oh okay, like once a day?' and he's like......'Uh..... no, more like every time you get to your car'
It picks up alot of dust and is really visible in that finish.

regular chrome with a good coat of brake dust gives the same looks
get a set of race pads and they'll dust so much it will look like black chrome in no time.
