Not sure if he has shot flake or not. He happens to be a 'biker', of the Ol' School, variety. Have seen several motors he has done.
The frame on the Cap'n, is actually jus' hand polished steel, with a clear coat powder coat, on it.
But DAMMT, those wheels came out **** !!!!!
Awesome color and 'even-ness'.

My chrome custom wheels are chipped and peeling. Is there a simulated chrome finish ? Can you do 2 colors on a 1 piece billet wheel?

ya bud there is a chrome powder, but it needs cleared... looks like this... and to answer your other question we can do 20 colors on a part if you want
here is the chrome powder before clear
however being that it is a metalic powder it does require a clear... we now use a accrilic clear... any clear will dull the surface it is over. but the new accrilic clear we use is made for polished and shined surfaces...
this customer wanted more of a rubbed alum finish to it, so we used a glass clear to dull it down a bit...
this tank has been primered, dents fixed, chrome powder, and glass clear, then wet sanded and buffed...
dents are filled with brazing... then sanded... then primed
primered
chromed
after clear, and wet sand/buff

Joe, that chrome/powder coating looks really great (AWESOME ).
Chrome powder coat over a brass (brazed) filler, you are the best! Quote: tank has been primered, dents fixed, chrome powder, and glass clear, then wet sanded and buffed... dents are filled with brazing... then sanded... then primed
primered"
Joe, the car that The gas tank (visualized) is on the car reminds me that the wagon would look really great with a powder coated chrome air scoop hiding a blower! You know, just to get the groceries in style.
