Looks like you missed/forgot the headlight trim ring and brake lever.

Alittle contrast never hurt anyone. Thanks for your comment ...

Agreed. I looked at the headlight trim
ring, as well as the cow bells and and every other bit of chrome there was. And decided to leave it for now because I thought the contrast was cool

This is with out the finer grade

The finer grade smooths it out. Yet keeps the matt finish intact

Went over all the aluminum with the finest grade 3m makes.
WIN!

Wax probably won’t work

They make a clear satin powder coat, but obviously
you'd need to disassemble all of your parts....

Thank you WKNDS, but that’s exactly what I want to avoid.
If I was that virtuous or involved, I’d have them powdered. But fiund this, https://www.cerakote.com/finishes/MC...iABEgLHy_D_BwE

What do you think of it?

It's still a spray on application, so IMHO, you'd need to dissasemble the
parts like the cam cover, tranny cover, rocker boxes so you dont get
overspray everywhere.....

Might be able to remove the front wheel/fender & mask the tubes
to spray the sliders though.

good luck,

T.

I was thinking the forks only. Sounds like a durable finish. Ceracoat is pretty tough stuff.
My rush exhaust is done that way. Clear. You really can see through it and there is no shine
Going with it!
