My primary is black of course, but on the cam cover and rocker box covers, i use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish..seems to work pretty nice

So is the satin chrome an actual type of chrome or is it just painted on?

So I tinted and painted my rear turn signals and visors and installed, looks pretty bad a$$, side note this is the second set I've purchased, I usually paint the parts semi flat, then bake in the oven on 215 to 225, for about 10-12 min to match the denim ( I also did fender struts and rear turn signal a mnth or so ago) but I guess, since there small thin plastic, they distorted and bowed in the center, a $35.00 learning experience,lol

I think the satin chrome is supposed to be clear coated. My primary gets those stupid smudges too. I'm going to get it powder coated eventually. Lucky for me I found a local indy that does there own powder coating and I can get it done in a weekend so almost no down time. I found out the other day that they also do an exchange program with some stuff. I'm going to get my grips in flat black for like 5 bucks with exchange. That sure beats the hell out of paying Harley 90 bucks for a new set. I've decided I can't take my bags being uneven so I'm going to drill them again tomorrow. They are about 7/8 th of an inch off and it's not noticeable from a distance but it's driving me nuts. I think there's enough material between the two holes that I won't lose any integrity but I think I'm going to fill the old holes in the bag with JB weld just in case. Does that sound like a bad idea or completely unnecessary?
