Default goodbye chrome... hello gold!
hey guys... i have been getting rid of what little chrome i have left... here is the color i am replacing it with... take some work to shoot as i scuff the chrome a bit to get the tooled look under it, and polish other stuff and then tool it first...
figured i would show yall what color i am working with

I am going to do a 2 tone powder job on my tins, using this and prob high gloss black, going to tool the tins, then lay this over the top of that... ill try and take some pics of the bike, if it EVER STOPS raining!

any other color idea to go with the gold other than black?

a midnight blue might look cool with the gold

Personally I think black goes the best with gold, but maybe a really dark blood red would be cool with gold
