Black chrome issues?

[SBSVT]

I'm hearing that there is some issues with black chrome, what is it about black chrome that makes it screw up easier than regular chrome?

 

[Sinned83]

they peel and flake

 

[SBSVT]

what makes it different than regular chrome though that they do it and regular chrome dont

i think theres another finish on top the chrome? to give it the darker appearance?

I'm guessing it's just poor quality finish.

i am also considering hypercoated what yalls opinions on that and if you got pics please post cause ive heard hypercoated looks different when light hits it

 

[Orange Stang]

hypercoated FTW. I LOVE hypercoated saleens and FR's

 

[SBSVT]

i was wanting strickly fr500 cause in my opinion 5 spoke are too common but when on a properly done car they look pretty good, except bullits i hate bullits

Hypercoated:

FR500s look sweet in hypercoated too.

that looks badass. it seems to have a slight brushed aluminum look to it, or is it just the picture? also curious to know is i hear black chrome doesnt show up in pictures as well as it looks in person which is what i have noticed cause in some pics it looks badass and others it looks just blah. some pictures ive seen of hypercoated look badass like yours and some just look like they are that silver painted color. do these just not show up good in pictures too or what

Hypercoated looks great too! especially the SALEENs!!!

 

[OnyxCobra]

Hypercoated has a much smoother, more liquid look than brushed aluminum. Obviously most things look better in person than they do in pics, but if the angle and light is right hypercoated can look silver. You can see how they fade from dark to light, that first pic shows it well.Another shot:

they look real good. i think they would look good on my moonlight blue stang too

 

[OnyxCobra]

thanks man, they would. I can't find the pic now but there was a pic of a black Stang with hypercoated FR500s and it looked badass.

 

[SBSVT]

i think i have now fallen in love with hypercoated lol

 

[OnyxCobra]

they are sexy man, no question.

 

[SBSVT]

no doubt i think ill probably go with those hypercoated saleens, they are cheaper than black chrome too

there is a guy who goes to my local mustang meet who has a red mach1 and he has black chrome mach wheels and his exhaust tips are black chrome and i have not heard him say anything about any problems with the wheels or exhaust tips because of the finish and he has had his wheels and exhaust tips done like this since before i met him 3-4yrs ago

 

[SBSVT]

im not sure i want to chance it though

My friend had the BBK RS Wheels in Black Chrome and they peeled. It was like a coating that just looked like it melted and peeled up.
