I try do do things to my skuter, that makes it a bit different from others...

 

with that said, here is my latest addition in the "quest for more chrome"

 

the lower fairing on the 2nd gens are made of a clear thick plastic, and they take quite a few hits with the bugs and rocks and such, and after a few years and a multitude of miles, they start to look a bit tacky.

i took a new set of lowers and had them chrome plated, inside and out, then automotive grade clear coating added to help hold the shine.

 

whadya think??

Jeff,

no i did not have this done at the secret chrome shop (they dont do plastic)

 

they were done at a shop in Madison Wi. called

 

"Chrome tech" owner operators name is Robert 608-712-8284 or 608-274-9811

 

he gets $80.00 to do the chrome plating and recomends that you have them clear coated with an automotive grade clear coat, after he chromes them.

 

I took him new parts, due to the fact that any blemmish in the plastic will stick out like a sore thumb after you chrome it.

then i had a local autobody shop clear coat them for me.

 

Tom,

now you know why i am always broke!!
