    painting over chrome

    thats right!!! ive started on my exhaust tip from banks. i am using duplicolors semi gloss black engine paint for the heat so far here it is...






    exhaust tip completed with 4 coats of duplicolor, black semi gloss heat paint





    i am also going to do the steps in black since no one has jumped on the $50 offer that was up for grabs! they will be just temporary till i hit up raul for some amp steps!

    before dissasembly



    top plastics off



    completely dissasembled and ready for prep
