Re: No Quarter Bikes
Hi Gents,
we can get chroming done but it's very expensive. We've found that you get exactly what you pay for with chroming so we'd only feel happy putting our name to something if it's the best quality.
Off topic but my Gazelle Champion Mondial AB frame was looking rather tatty, what started as a simple respray has turned into a full rebuild with new kit *sigh*
Here's how far we've got so far...

Introducing No Quarter Purple..
We spent 3 months changing and perfecting the formula by hand to create the perfect colour. We changed primers, base coat and lacquer + tinting to get the combination right. It's a complex colour due to each coat of paint and even the lacquer being a different colour than what was sprayed on before. This colour looks truly amazing in natural light.
It's taken not far off 100 different test sheets and spray charts to create this colour, we've painted it on tubes, flat surfaces, just about anything to see how it reacts. We use a very expensive Japanese pearl additive to the paint which is unbeatable, even if you stand it next to a metallic or mega glossy frame this will outshine them.
Only 1 person in the world knows how to mix it and only 1 person in the world knows how to paint it.
We teamed up with Tim Leicester from Sword Cycles to paint his Bespoke Bristol frame, his stunning fillet brazing creates a great surface for this paint.
This year this paint is going to create a storm, we've already had requests from pro cycling teams, high-end manufacturers and frame builders to start using this unique colour.

Re: No Quarter Bikes
Afraid we can't do this colour in a powder-coat, just paint only.
