Blacked up a new extralite for a mate using @Hicky method, @Cornelius asked for a pic of the underside. Once you go black you never go back

What's the black process ?

 

[Olican]

What's the black process ?

That's a carbon steel extralite soaked in coke and vinegar to create a forced patina ( a layer of black rust that stops orange rust forming)

 

[Simon85]

What's the benefit of carbon to stainless steel? Sharper?

 

[ChrispyUK]

Nice job Olican. How much coke to vinegar mate?

What difference does this make to your finish? If it's none, it's like them racer boys driving about with an exhaust on a 1.2 petrol fiesta that really should be on a spaceship.

Agreed.. it's like a load of old age plasterers are off work and got nothing better to do besides change the colour of there trowels admittedly black does look cool but imo a bit of black and other colours of the rainbow looks better
