Yeah I don't know how you'd go about that... I don't even know how they black chrome them. I'm assuming it's the same as if you were to chrome a rim, aka dipping it, but in black chrome.

[Ryan...]

It's probably similar to anodizing then, but I don't know how to go about doing that to something a large as a wheel.. I used to get my paintball gun accessories anodized often..

No idea. Hey ryan, shoot me a text, I'm madison bound in about 6 hours!

black chrome is simply a black powder coat after chroming

[Ryan...]

Brian, I'm workin a double tonight and tomorrow night

I asked for overtime and now they're stealing my Friday/saturday nights lol

How do you powdercoated over chrome? Lightly spray black over the chrome?

[Earl]

Is anodizing Shizzit expensive?

[Ryan...]

Getting paintball guns done was usually around $200. That consists of a bunch of separate pieces plus disassembly etc...

[Brian.]

I'm assuming black chrome would be pricey, but so sexy

[Ryan...]

So, who here is into guns and such?

I got all this stuff for work, with a 15% discount, for $234.56 (not including glock). Now I need to start shooting a ton of rounds, who wants to go??

[alexw]

Let's go!

I don't have any 9mm's anymore. Sorta wish I did, ammo was decently priced.

I bought reloads from Deerfield Pistol for pretty cheap, target use only. So far I've put about 150 rounds through it and cleaned it 3 times lol

I'm not a member of any clubs, I've got all this stuff for my job, and I'm taking a 40hr firearms class so I can be armed at work.

[industrialsized]

where do you work?

[Ryan...]

MPI Security.

Moving to the Patrol Division with squad car/lights/etc.. Being armed is required and comes with a $1 an hour raise over my previous position.

I worked with Securitas for many years.

How does MPI's pay compare?

[Ryan...]

Well, I currently make $10.05/hr as an on-site security guard. On Thursday after I pass my firearms class I'll be in the Patrol Division making $11/hr.

@ Alex, 50 target rounds for $14.80 is pretty damn nice compared to what the guys with 45s pay!

[alexw]

I hear ya. I only have .40 and .45 now.

For now... Until I pick up more, or build a rifle.

[GunMetalGrey]

So. Guess who has a running m50 in his e30

[alexw]

Yay!

Very cool. Someday I'll be doing a swap, but for now I'm happily rocking this M42!
