Powder coating a chrome bridge?

[tjmdetroit]

Has anybody ever power coated a chrome bridge. I have a hipshot type A 6 string chrome and want a black one instead.
I was thinking of buying a cheap kit and pc the bass plate cuz the saddles would be too hard with all the little orfices...

IMO the better option, would be to have your bridge black chromed? Any chrome shop can do it for you and the finish will be much more permenant than powder coat paint.

Check out Lakewood industries online, many good powder coat set-ups for not much money, their stuff works great, my neighbor has a set up and did some corners and screws for my amp 5 years ago. Just toss in the oven and voila. Very cool, and my amp still looks new.

Just make sure you're not using your home oven to bake them... some pretty nasty fumes are put out while doing that, and you don't want them anywhere near where you're eating.
