Well I don't know how to find a way to black chrome the mufflers, but I do have a plan that's close.
There are high temp spray primers available. I intend to build multiple coats to fill in any rough spots, then multiple coats of high gloss black. I will finish them like I was painting the tank, wet sanding with 1200/1500 then buffing it. It should come out perfectly smooth with the gloss of a regular paint job. Not black chrome, but very effective.
I'll use a semi gloss for the handle bars and triple tree.
I do know a great paint supplier for all the local body shops. They can make a spray can any color for $12. I only need to cover the area on the side of the fairing that looks loke a rubstrip. I think I can remove it, sand it, paint it and buff it. If the paint is not perfect, I'll have them adjust and spend another $12. No worries.
Thanks for the info.
