Thanks for the positive feedback guys I was kinda on the fence and took the jump along with brushing my chrome. Its cool cuz you don't have to polish it you wax it cuz of the clearcoat. I am going to do the rest, the tank, rearfender and such. I took my old chrome trim ring from the headlight and brushed it to match the rest. Here's some pics. Thanks guys you are great.

Looks really cool! I've been thinking of doing the "scotch bright" finish on my chrome. I haven't got the ***** yet. I might do that this winter to kill some time. What did you use to get the brushed finish and how long does it take? Looks like something from Exile Cycles.

I'm sorry but if the finish can just RUB off, I'd have to think there is a problem with the application process.

Was that a spray on application or were the parts dipped such as when it's in the process of getting chromed?

that is awesome! not sure if we coud powder a clear over it depending on if it a actual nickle plating or if it is sprayed with that spectra chrome stuff... if you are going to clear it, and not go with powder i highly sugest this, it is a 2 stage clear in a rattle can, self leveling... just an awesome product

i would be a bit worried as to why it would Rub off? that is a bit fishy to me but then agian i do not know the process they used on it
