Just came across this video from Jay Leno's garage series. Could be a fix for those plastic chrome pieces on our bikes. Maybe some other things as well.

New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong. -
Wow, I can see a small business opportunity :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Really cool and seemingly simple process. Local paint shops should be jumping on this. They should have all the equipment already and provide a fairly unique service.Comment

Amazing process. Wonder how much it costs?Ed
To measure is to know.

My buddy that owns an aluminum wheel refinishing company just picked up what I think is this system and we will be painting my kat wheels shortly. I will post results.Comment

Looking back on it, I'm a little concerned their web site hasn't been updated, under construction, since 2010. Makes you wonder just how current it still is?Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

I saw this 6 or 8 years ago at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. You can do this to absolutely anything that can be painted with regular paint. It really is as easy as they make it look on the video, and it's only a little more expensive than regular paint.
I'm pretty surprised it hasn't taken off. Like I say, I saw it years ago.Comment

Watched that video on Lenos Garage as well. Pretty cool.
Did you find it after you viewed my waterless coolant thread? Ha.

JayWB....so you paint the parts with regular paint...then you respray the chrome stuff and the base paint acts as the bonding agent?? Is the chrome stuff sold in spray cans? Im tried their website and its not really "up and running". Got some other info to lead us to the product?MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment
