Im going to paint it going black again. The og paint was fooked so had to take it off and the nitromors was poo i did 4 coats it was on for about 2 hours and the paint was barley soft! I have done nitromors on loads of stuff tons of radiators etc and its worked real well but not this time..... Not gonna get anymore done today the mrs is ill so i gotta look after the little man so looks like ill have to wait for weekend  :( but on the bright side think like ive found a black piston stem, im gonna order a few bits today while i got time and gonna get ready to give the chrome a bath!
As for the paint im gonna go for the plastikote stuff I saw a thread about painting over chrome and somebody said this stuff was good for that too so im gonna look into it.

Apparently Nitromors is not what it used to be....although has always worked o.k for me. Starchem Synstrip is the way to go   :daumenhoch:
