Shinny fairings...

[andrew]

I was wondering if anyone out there would know how i'd go about getting a mirror finish on some farings. I don't mean make them really shiny or anything, i'd like a chrome effect as if the whole bike is a mirror sort of thing.

This more like it, time to get things back to normal between us.

ROFL I take it you don't know how to make my fairings shiny then *hit face?

[byke95]

Take it easy there kids

I hear Mr Sheen is pretty good at getting a shiny finish - it's what most of the dealers use apparently

Have a look on www.tartshandbag.com for 'Utter Shite Fairing Paint'!

Saw a completely chromed Fireblade at Boxhill once.

I believe it's rather dubious, cos the sun can reflect off it so harshly as to dazzle other drivers, or to completely hide you in the sun.

I don't want my fairings to be clean I want them to look like a mirror, as if they were polished aluminum.

We're only playing...


**Edit** I guess I asked for that with a topic like this.

Don't know about chrome effect but did see a bike once that'd been resprayed. They'd put metal chips into the paint (professional job). This had the effect of making it 'sparkle' and it had a different look depending on how the light hit it. Try asking if this can be done at a repair place?

HTH

There was a site that was spammed on BCF before, turns out now it might actually be of some use to you. You should check out https://www.alsacorp.com/chrome.htm. Not sure if similar piants are available over here or not though.

Don't do it! Your bike would look like an Action Man toy
You're not going to convert it to fire little plastic rockets as well are you?

Poor defenceless bike. Completely unaware of her tarty owner's plans...

Ah be quiet. You're a couple of old women you are. I'm just playing around with ideas at the moment so don't panic.

[Phoenix]

Halfords do an Aluminium spray paint, I have no idea what the finish is, but I suspect it's just silver, lacquer it enough and it'd be reflective silver, but not chrome.

You might get round to riding it one day
The chome paint does look cool though, thought about it on the Blade too.
