Has anyone filled scratches before painting chrome?, I have some minor scratches on my SEII's and would like to fill them in before painting, I was thinking something like JB weld but not sure if it will stick to the chrome.

 

well so far so good, got the first piece in the oven. i will post pics when i get them back on tomorrow



edit: the first piece fresh out of the oven. dont tell my ol i used the good cookie sheet

 

Don't fill them just sand them down smooth!

 

well here is the finished product. im pretty happy with the outcome as long as the durability is there. sorry for the crappy pic. all i had was my phone and a trebble light. i will post more pics in the iron 883 section tomorrow if i can. thanks for the tips everyone!!

 

So far the only thing I've done to the shields is to sand down the cross over shield with 150 grit and use 99 cent spray paint as a test. The other one's I just cleaned them up and sprayed them. So far so good.

 

I powder heat shields all the time! holds up great!

 

i went with the powder coat option. the bugs up here are nasty in the summer and i would imagine if painted them it would chip off when when cleaning them. my AC cover is painted black and i had to paint it twice this summer

 

That turned out great man. Looks like it should be that way.

 

thanks for the comment. i probobly wouldnt have done it if not for the pic of your buell. thanks!

 

I second mreed-- looks awesome! Can you post up a pic of the whole bike as it looks now?
