I will point out that for a large part of this story they were working on different frames and parts. I needed to shoot a bike feature for a different story, and when I got back my frame was done. Unfortunately, we missed a few photos, so we just watched as one more frame was coated. So don't waste your time calling or e-mailing us to point out that the color is different-we know. But we wanted to show how it was done on any metal parts.
