Rough it up with some scotchbrite... use a good primer...several light coats... and then paint away... lots of light coats... and you should be good to go.... and then if you don't like it... you can always go have it powder coated....
I mounted mine in chrome anticipating painting or powder coating, but I found I liked the chrome
Yaa, that doesn't look bad, maybe I'll wait and see after I get it mounted. It doesn't take that long to put them on and take them off, I hope.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Just enough room under the plastic cover for a relay (I triggered it from the "lights" circuit) and a flush mount rocker switch. I run them all the time, but my OCD made me put a relay and switch into the circuit (using solder and shrink-wrap). Also, if you haven't bought a windshield and intend to: the standard Crossbones shield DOES NOT allow clearance for lights mounted in the standard position. No big deal, you can reverse the brackets, mount them low and use the play in the light mounts themselves to bring the lamp up. Only out of line about 1/2 of an inch. I actually like them better that way.
