The reason I ask is that I had my HLT re-chromed and was gonna leave it at that. Now I really want a smoked chrome finish and was wondering if it's poss to apply over fresh chrome?

this is'nt a smoked chromefinish, do you mean the pro class finish? is that right? this is a paint process nearest match to the harry leary paint, i had my old scruffy one stripped then polished then painted, not sure about smoked chrome mate, would have thought it would'nt be a problem but i would'nt know

marty alot of people call this HARRY LEARY SMOKED CHROME ...........
to answer the question yeah its chrome underneath / yeah its fine to paint over the new chrome , sorry to but in but it was me that made the paint for this frame , hope that doesn,t sound big headed
martylaa:
neil ya not butting in mate your hard work made this possible, i stand corrected mate, thought smoked chrome was the stuff on the old pro class's, anyway to answer the question mine was only polished prior to painting and its turned out superb by the boys at sparkle
p.s i id say a big thanks at the top of the post to you and neil for coming up with this stuff :daumenhoch:
