Default Chrome Rinehart Tips
I was tired of looking at my mis-matched Rinehart tips so I decided to make it one of my winter projects. Thanks to Dan's Polishing and Chrome they match again.

added some red paint to the script to match the bike

finished product

Mine are in desperate need of rechroming as the stock chrome sucks to say the least. What did he charge to rechrome yours?

I'd like to know too. Plus, did you put the red paint on after they were chromed? I'm assuming you just used a little thinner to take off the excess?

It will show up on your bike better than mine Stupid. My bag rails kinda get in the way. I'm thinkin about de-railing mine today. Use a small brush or toothpick to put the paint in the scribe. Wail a few mins until its almost cured then take the tip of a plastic spoon and scrape off the excess. The thinner on a rag works great if the scribe is deep enough so might try that first. I had some leftover paint from two yrs ago that matched my bike.

Painted the script on my originals black and rolled them over so the script wouldn't show. Voila! No-name end caps.
