:( Ok am I really wasting my time with this or am I best off just giving to Dan to put a silver base on and get the candy over the top on the bars to???
I'd be gutted if it came back and didn't look A1.
I'll stick some pics up of the frame tonight so you can see wot i'm dealing with there. Bollox, That last comment has really fooked me off....thx for the headsup though Harorider

The seat post Dan powdered did look amazing and if you already had a nice chrome f+f and bars it would make sense to go down that route but it is going to be really time-consuming and expensive with your f+f and bars. There are no guarantees that the chrome will be up to scratch so, if it was me, I would spend the +£200 rechrome money on something else and let Dan work his magic with the silver base coat/candy powder. The other post looked really good and the bike will look mint when you build it up. :daumenhoch:
