Nitefly SA Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 do a search, but i should tell you that if you paint it black certain parts will remain gold, the threads for example, also the paint will wear off quickly on the nut.

haggardguy Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Been done to death, search for more info but the jury is out on this one. The biggest consencus we have reached it that heavy duty paint may yeild bearable results but it will wear and will need to be repainted. Powercoating has been mentioned and some say it will stay and everything will fit and some say it wont. Thats the gist of it anyways.

tirapop Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Trade or sell your chrome Floyd for a black one. You probably won't be able to reproduce the factory black finish without spending more money than a swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opencan Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 i've heard something about heating the bridge untill it becomes white, then throwing it to old motor oil and after 30-50 minutes it will come out black. never tried it thogh.
