Off Topic Burning Chrome

[littlephil]

No, I'm not talking about racing cars

Ever since I first saw it, I've loved the look of burnt chrome. Maybe its just the pretty, swirly colours
Anyway, I had some spare pickup covers, so I decided to have a go at burning them.

Here's the first one, and the second as it was pre-burning for comparison;

And now the second;

Here's a few closeups;

Now all I need is some pickups to put them on

I actually used an old camping stove!
I was going to use a gas torch, but it had no gas left.

EDIT:
Here's one being done;

 

[GWDavis28]

Hahahahaha, Phil man that's excellent!!! I had meant a propane torch, but the words were escaping me.

Would you stove be a Coleman?? Hahahahahahaha

Yeah, it was actually! Although I've liked the look since long before I'd ever even heard of Bareknuckles.

Way cool. They would look great on a Black guitar.

 

[nathanhny]

I've never made pickups, but I have built a couple of guitars, and I've got another I'm about to start.
I wouldn't mind making pickups eventually, but it'll probably never happen

Way cool. They would look great on a Black guitar.

Yeah, I think they would.
I actually want to make a Steampunk-esque guitar and put either some of these or some heavily reliced pickups on it.

BP should offer this as an extra feature on his BBQ

 

[roburado]

No, I'm not talking about racing cars

If I had a racing car, I'd prefer it to be mostly carbon fiber.

Exactly what I was thinking. Has that Abalone intrigue look to it.

Geat mod Phil, love it.
