^^ HAHAHAHAHAHA!

True though. Not to mention a pain in the *** to keep clean and scratch free. Go with something original. Chrome is WAY overplayed these days.

Chrome fairings? Maybe not a silver chrome, but maybe a tinted chrome/non-chrome paint two tone.It will take some throught to do it right.

coolest paint job i ever saw was real simple. it was on a GTI but you could do it on a bike too. He used the lexuz pearl white as his base coat, then went over it with like 5 coats of clear with a color pearl tint. the end result was a nice color car, that when the sun hit the edges, would show an awesome tint of blue. Really hard to describe, i'll try to find a picture

Chrome paint never looks like chrome. It always looks cheap and ****ty. That really what you want? If you want something with some flash, maybe look into the Chameleon paints that flip colors depending on how the light hits it....but no chrome.
