eusa1 Posted April 6, 2010 #1 Posted April 6, 2010 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?? mike

eusa1 Posted April 6, 2010 Author #4 Posted April 6, 2010 They look good to me. What was the cost? :starz:brain damage... about $300.00 includes cost of new parts to start with clean smooth surface.

wahco1956 Posted April 6, 2010 #19 Posted April 6, 2010 You are the man Mike, always something new for us poor folks to drool over. Tom
eusa1 Posted April 6, 2010 Author #20 Posted April 6, 2010 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!! mike.
