powdercoat it ? 50-60 quid ! or rub down and primer and paint yourself ! 20 quid material and a good spray mask  :daumenhoch:

I had considered those options but it means alot to me and i wanted to try and keep it as original as possible. The chrome hasn't flaked or pitted really in 30 years so i'll just polish it some more and fit new decals and see how it looks i think. I guess i was hoping someone would tell me about a secret wonder polish that would answer my prayers but i realised it was a long shot. You gotta ask though  :)

I will post pictures when its done and i'll then be able to see what you think  :-\

DoubleD:
I use Belgom alu and chrome polish
the alu one is  used for cleaning the chrome, You will be amazed how much filth is coming off
and finish it off with Belgom chrome.
most of the time it cleans up very well but if the chrome is dull and worn you will never get it back  >:(

GavinDavis:
Im sure it will look awesome as soon as the new decals go on, if you really wanted it mint then a rechrome would be in order but unfortunately thats gonna set you back a fair bit.

Rossi46:
I would like it mint but a rechrome would just wipe away its history i think  :-\.  I don't mind the fact that it wears a few battle scars, i was just hoping to make more of the original chrome  :yahoo_silent:
