After having two FMJ frames I've learned my lesson and I don't use my splices as much as I want to. With the splice the black chrome really stands out. I get asked alot about the color since it's not very common. It hasn't started peeling yet and hopefully it will stay that way.

This artclie is a home run, pure and simple!

One of my favorite colors for Oakley frames. Great shiny finish that stands out among other metallic/ chrome Oakley finishes. For those who have never experienced, its almost like metallic pewter, but better.

I have a pair of Flak Jacket XLJs in this frame color with Tungsten Iridium Polarized and they look amazing!! I wish they released this color with more frames, esp Romeo 2, XX Twenty, X-Squared, or maybe Frogskins.

Almost every lens color looks good with this frame. Not sure about the wear and tear/deterioration of this color over time, but if it's like most metallic finishes it probably can't be too good. I hope that's not true though.

It is more of a display piece than a pair to wear for day-to-day use. If anyone is reading this that has the power, I would love the formula for this color to be used as a paint job for future car, preferably exotic or luxury.

Just imagine a car that has an Oakley Black Chrome paint job with a saddle brown leather interior...

Just got a lensless pair of Bottlecaps as a gift. It's a unique color, and I was surprised to find that it was fairly uncommon on the Bottlecap. Part of me wants to "restore" the glasses to their original titanium glory, the other part of me is curious as to what colors would look awesome with this frame. I wonder why the newer frames that are encased in metallic paint are no longer referred to as FMJ...

Black chrome completes a frame, encasing it in an FMJ finish and making it shine with brilliance. Many popular Oakley models have used this color, as its dark hue looks great paired with almost any lens option. One of my personal favorites is the New Straight Jacket in Black Chrome/Ice. Unlike the dark chrome frame, this option adds visual appeal with the extra "metallic" finish.
