Chrome

Hi,

I had a minor accident (dont ask) and my lovely Chrome exhaust took
the brunt of the impact leaving a nice scratch about 2cm high and 30cm
long.

Whats the best way to cover this up without having to go to the
expnese of a new exaust or rechroming it. I heard scratching the
exaughts more with sandpaper and painting it with BBQ paint but if
possible i would like to keep the chrome look.

Any bright ideas or advise (apart from not having accidents on my
bike) would be greatly appreciated.

Nick a new one you Scouse **** ;-)

 

Absoultely NOTHING will stick to chrome despite all the sanding, prep work
or opinions to the contrary.

Polish it, preferably with a buffing macine, then cake it in wax polish
containing much silicone is all you can really do.

Also PVC waterproofs. The heat shield on a Morini rear pot header pipe
is there for a reason. DAMHIKIJDOK.

Yer can't buy polythene paint yet though, and them tesco shopping bags are
"single use only". He'd need a fucking shed load to keep his pipe looking
mancky.
