Does anyone know who does small batch (two door latches) in black chrome? Painted door handles don't work with our cars given the way it opens. Already chipping on mine. I have mine drilled as well and want this look!

There are a few shops that do actual black chrome. Google it to find someone near you
Have you considered Ceracoat?? Might be easier to find or can be DIY. That is a cool look |

Seems like everyone wants bulk orders but will keep searching local. Cerakote sounds interesting though. I will research a little

Powder coat maybe? That's pretty tough stuff.

Cerakote doesn't do well in UV. Told to me by a shop that does it.

Talked to a local on cerakote. Three different types with one.that is UV stable. Powdercoating will be too thick i believe. I may go this route

Cerakote is the right stuff. Super tough. I do air cure here at home at it does a great job and lasts

Funny timing-planning to 'de-chrome' my teener and do Black Chrome. Found a shop in Reno they say can do. Virtually all the trim on the car, less bumpers. I'll try and contact again, may be we can merge our lot...
(see you're in Charlotte, but a small item ship fee....) |

Awesome. Would be happy to combine. Are they saying they can turn around quickly?
