Just a note on painting chrome. I didn't post anything on the original site, but now it came to me. I don't know what this painter did to make the paint stick to the chrome, but here was my solution. When I built my old trumpet, I wanted the center of the rims painted to match my paint, like they had on some bikes in the late 50s. I taped the rims off, and sandblasted the part I wanted painted. This left the chrome area dull, but smooth. I painted the sandblasted area red, and 13 years later, the paint is still sticking fine!

Dave, I drool over that bike (figuratively speaking). That really is quite the tank there. I would really like to see that bike in person.

On a sunny day you may blind yourself and everyone around you....You better buy extra dark sunglasses if you do decide to chrome the tank...
It is beautiful....

I remember my Dad showing me pictures of a buddy's car from the 40's. The entire car had been chromed - he was ultimately banned from driving it (safety hazard).
