Cromovelato ~ how is it done?

Cromovelato. Seeing that pretty Wilier posted recently, I wonder again, how do they do that? Of course, the owner of that particular bike says it is the copper plated version.

Did you ever Google the word? There's not much definitive information on the process. Yes, I know it was a tinted clear coat over a chrome plated frame. I'm just curious what they used to tint the clear coat? Regular paint with solids providing pigment would degrade the transparency of the clear.

Some kind of dye????

Just curious.
