I sort of touched lightly on this when I couldn't believe a clearcoat option was not available for the polished bodies of the Kirkhams. Either in the copper alloy or polished aluminun, both looked stunning. I know when the chrome paint first came out its consistancy was almost like water. You had to have everything perfect because one little bit of anything and it would show up. I had looked up this paint when it was brought up. There was the chrome paint and a ghost chrome....but now it seems this company offers more choices. Other than reading and seeing a few examples at Monterey I have no hands on experience with it.
Your comment caught my eye because back in the 1980's my racing buddy Cozy had a black chrome drum kit. He made a duplicate set for me and I did ask a few manufacturers at that time if they could produce a black chrome finish similar to Cozy's drum kit. At that time it would have cost several fortunes but today I guess it could be done.
