Mutiny's translucent paint finish explained

I guess Mutiny has been getting questions about why their translucent colors on their bars and forks are darker than on the Loosefer V3 and Lucky Strike V3 frames.

We’ve had a few questions about the darker The Black Pearl and Clear Red finishes on the bars and forks compared to our frames. As our bars and forks go through our 420 Baked heat treating process the color of the the heat-treating process actually changes the color of the surface of the tubing – due to the extremely high temperatures reached during the heat-treating process. So although the paint finishes are the same the final finish on these 2 colors appear to be a little darker than the matching frames for anyone who wondered about the small color difference.
