no secret, just hard work and correct materials. First, if possible, I sand off the chrome getting to the nickel. Adhesion is a lot better on nickel. If that can't be done, then at least create some good sized sanding scratches in the chrome. This gives the paint tooth . . something to bite to. Then I use epoxy primer. Epoxy also has great adhesion properties. Doing it this way, I have bumpers that were painted 20 years ago and still look good.

update . . I'm creating a slicer for the front fender. I'll have it done in a day or two and post new pics. This is the cherry on top

OK here's the slicer. It took too many hours to even tell . . to make this thing. Its made well I did all the artwork and even tried spraying the lettering on, but had problems. So I decided to turn my artwork over to a vinyl guy and have it cut out. Its a cool font and will really set it off.

Well done, pal. She looks sweet!

Slicer... so that's what they call those... I'll bet they make short work of pedestrians. Slicing through traffic... down the sidewalk...

"AIYEE!!:
"Run!"
"What the -"
"Look out!"
"He's crazy I tell ya! Ow, my 'rhoids!!"
"What's that noise behind m- AIYEEEEEE!!"

 

[PetesPonies]

I'll take that as a compliment Kent

 

[kent_in_kc]

LOL! Yeah, I like your bike, man. Any way you slice it. You are obviously a talented pro.

Love the bike.
Where did you get the taillight? Is it an led or incandescent?

 

[PetesPonies]

That taillight is old school. It is cast that I painted black. They are all over ebay, ones like it or similar. Its an old school British light. Old choppers and stuff used them too.
