Can anyone post pics or tell me the difference between hyperblack finish and plain black. I have seen some pics but the hyperblack just looks like chrome on my monitor? Thank you.

 

Yeah, hyperblack is more "chromy" than plain black. Unlike these pics, it really appears black, but reflects "chrome-like" in light. The best thing to do is to really see them in person. They won't photo too well. The best description I can give is "black chrome."

"Black with little or no shine"

"Black powder coat with a very thick high gloss shine appearance"

The hyperblack is more of a "smoked" chrome, and much closer to a chrome finish than a black finish. The term hyperblack is very misleading and should be changed to something like smoked chrome.

 

Orig when I purchased my ROH Adrenalines the color was called: Black Ice...which is hyperblack or smoked chrome as mentioned here.

It's a terrific color IMHO...
but the downside is....it's nearly impossible to touch-up w/ paint as it's a combo of about 3 different shades of paint. It's a 3 step process I was told when it's painted.

The color looks differently depending on the quantity of sunlight available.
In the bright sun is has a "chrome" look....in the shade a "smoked chrome" look... and during the even'n hours its more "gun metal/dark chrome" looking.... which IMO gives this color a unique appeal :smile:.

Peace,
