G'day mate. Just posting some pix of something I'm doing to my bike as I don't like to much chrome plus I'm reducing the glare factor from on top of my bike as it's annoying/distracting while riding down here in god's country, sunny Australia.
What this is is a product from Dupli-Colour called Shadow. It's a 2 pack black spray pac that turns chrome into a black chrome finish. At the moment, I've done the Speedo cover and 1 of the dog bowls.
Here these pix show the difference in darkness as the speedo cover has had 2 coats whereas the dog bowl has so far got 1 coat.
Let me know what you think....
BTW, the sticker on the right dog bowl is of the Southern Cross. Something that us Aussies easily recognise as being Australian
I've heard of this dupli-color stuff. There's a video on youtube showing a wheel being painted. I like the tone on the dog bowl. Both pieces turned out very nice. Looks professionally done. Post more pics when you're finished.
Is this a solid coating or is it transparent? Any special etching or sanding involled? Like the anodized look of colored chrome. Is this the result you are getting?
I ride a blacked out 900 so I think it looks great.I love exile bikes though.
