   And basically, if i want a real glossy shine to my R alloys, and if im getting them done black, do i ask for gloss black?
   Or just black or what?
   
   Also, what the hell is a chemical strip and shot blast?
   
   Thanks, i have searched btw.

   chemical dip stripps paint off them as well as any grease etc, the shot blast well roughen up the surface to give the polyester powder something to bite to when they are placed in the oven meaning the powder should not chip easily if they are done right

   There is a bloke on atchem industrial estate that does it.
   He has color swatchs to show the finishs.
   Gloss black with metal flake looks well smart
