You haven't heard of one of the commandments stating "thou shalt not paint chrome" have you?
LOL, the original commandment was, "Chrome not thy bike, for it is a blight upon thy soul, and reflects a paucity of spirit, for which chrome compensateth not."

you could always do it the right way, send the part to the chromer and get it pickled (chrome removed) and then prep and paint.

Swedish,

PLEASE, close those legs!!!! LOL!


EDIT NOTE AND RETRACTION:

What I mean by "PLEASE, close those legs" is your AVATAR looks like a lady's private area with her legs spread and is in reference to an earlier thread "Say something funny about your Avatar"

In no way did I intend that Swedishvix ever, in any way, kept her real legs open more than normal or closed more than normal. SpeedsterX, denies ANY sexual undertone in this post (unless Swedishvix is single and looking) and apologizes to Swedishvix for any and all misunderstandings that these four words may have caused.

Um, Again,

Unless Swedishvix is single and looking
