Hey guys, I've got a 2007 ultra classic that I am in process of fully detailing for resell. Bike has 35k on it. Ive noticed the front frame horns are pretty chipped up and rough looking. I was wondering if any suggestions on how to repair and repaint these areas. I'm thinking rustoleum gloss black maybe?

Depends on how much time and effort you want to put into it. My suggestion is to sand and feather chips and then mask off areas you don't want overspray on.Then spray with a primer and sand,then you can coat tubes with any good metal spray. Final outcome depends on prep work.
