The Chopper Compendium

Any suggestions ? I have an old beat up springer that I had the rust blasted off of and I want it to look kind of pretty. I'm not a fan of painted springers and I'm not a fan of spending my inheritance on chrome. Anybody here have experience or reccomendations for chrome paint ?

Very nice. Do you know of any particular brand that is better than the others ?

Powder coat is and option. Frame in the background is powder coat, frame in foreground is actual chrome.
Less worry of hydrogen embrittlement.
Picture was lifted off a chrome powder coat search.

The swingarm is in powdercoat.

(An unrelated story) An aquaintance built a custom '36 show car and powdercoated some of the visible suspension parts in chrome color. Hard to tell the difference, still had lots of " POP".

If you go with Powder, Prismatic Powders Super Chrome is worth a look.Look it up on Youtube.I'll be ordering some to do an old Fishing Reel I have.It is a two stage Powder, so you'll have to clear it.

I Have used HOK....base is black and it looks sweet .....just scratches like the real paint
