Only problem is that burnt chrome is a chrome cover, camo is a nickel cover...

they do do a burnt nickel cover which turns out redier then the 'chrome'.

but ask they usually reply quickly.

Im an engineer by trade... talking from experience, the "burnt chrome" effect looks in fact like it is nickel. Chrome does not react so extremely as that when it is heated. Chrome is affected similarly, but it is far duller. I would say that all of the "burnt" covers in the gallery are in fact nickel. The Camo effect looks like a chemical etching onto a nickel cover (probably Haematite or Tourmaline ferrous patanating fluid) so the two would effectively cancel each other out if both applied.

i'm an idiot by trade... the only words which made sense in that sentence were 'cancel each other out'

A cover with fingerprints on it leaves marks where the fingerprints were when burnt. Apparently this is similar to custom camo.
