There was a thread about it somewhere, relating to a different framebuilder. It did have a name.
Basically the frame was chromed, then highly polished, masked off, then a translucent candy applied over it. Then the lugs were lined and decals applied, then a coat of clear.
The fact that the candy is applied over polished chrome means it scratches right off really easily. I touch it up with a red marker pen!
