I know, I'm an auto technician, learning on a Ducati on how to repair bikes...

Wished I had more to offer the world, but, I do what I can...

Godspeed...

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Hey DP,

Need to ask, how do I paint the bezel around the headlamp in, you guess it, black?

ummmm...

sand it and paint it. ;D

I use epoxy primers on chrome for adhesion because I need to be sure...

sand with 320 and rattle can the thing. ;)

320, epoxy primer and rattle can... [thumbsup]
Can I get epoxy primer on rattle can?  :-[
Anyway I can painted black but still leave it like chrome, but black? Or, that's way over my pay grade?... ;D

Basically asked if I could get the epoxy primer on rattle can and if there's a way to 'painted black but looking like chrome'? But after a beer, I'll leave it at semi-gloss black...

So you can see scratches.

..and you can get rattle can epoxy primer at some places.

Nate,
I fabricated some mesh grills to install on the front OEM fender, I cut them, and now the big question, how can I install them?
To put inside the holes of the OEM fenders, and change the look, no $$$ for 'DP Diversion fender', plus mesh grill, comes of used air filters. It's already painted black.

I'd use SEM problem plastic repair.

Sets up quick and has never failed me.

Got some fiberglass lying around in my friend's bodyshop, can I use it?

Today it's Mothers Day here in Panama, I came to do some work in the car and asked him about the SEM thing and he says he's heard of it, but, not to be found locally or at least under the name you gave me.

Know you're working, I've got time to do it, just wanted to know if I could savage the fiberglass sheet to use it. Thanks once again.

Fiberglass is not the best choice for bonding to plastic. It doesn't really stick.

JB weld would be better, but the regular kind takes forever to set up. If you had the quick set JB weld it should work. Just scuff up the bonding area with coarse (36) grit paper.
