In an effort to make things a bit shiny I experimented with painting the cvt cover chrome. Looked like junk. However, If you take paint stripper, remove all the stock black paint, then use mothers mag and aluminum polish with a buffer, Instant chrome like finish. The metal is not perfect, some flaws on the surface but still looks good. I did the same thing to my clutch bell.  |

I love to hear about people doing nice things for others. Im sure it looks great. What can i add in chrome next? I think a chrome fan cover would be a nice balance of chrome on both sides. |
