Has anyone ever attempted something like this?

I think it would look just absolutely sick. And by sick I mean awesome.

Nice. I’d go with a matte finish though.

I'd love something like this! Maybe we can convince Roman to do a limited edition run.

I guess perma blue wouldn't do as they say it shouldn't be used on chrome. I don't have an anodizing technique on hands... but yeah; now I want to try it

Just too much cost and re-working a finish product for a secondary run. This would probably be best as a custom project.

But it definitely is beautiful!

Just an F.Y.I., the only metals that can be anodized are aluminum and titanium so you couldn't anodize a vintage Graflex or any of the replicas currently on the market (except for the bottom can of a Graflex 2.0).

Titanium graflex it is then! ;-)

I ordered a Graflex from your new run even though I didn't really have a specific use in mind at the time I placed an order. Looks like I do now! Gotta find a way to make this happen!

Maybe this would work...

I have an unused can of this stuff (I bought the pack for the can of clear coat that comes with it). Maybe I should try it out on a chrome plated sink tube.

Two words: black chrome. Anodizing is a no go due to the metals involved, but I don't think that would be an issue.

It could be powder coated.
