VHT header paint on chrome, scuffed up a bit then sprayed on, no primer and holding up after a few years.

Yep, I did the same on my old Yoshi pipe Scunny, the chrome was pretty sad, so I bought a can of VHT satin black header paint, and it lasted for years. I think I etch primed it first though, I can't remember....... anyway, good stuff. Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
