My brother uses that for his deer skulls. There are a few patterns on there that would be neat to try on some valk parts.

He did have good luck with it. I am going over to watch next time he does it to see how easy it is. Cant be too hard if he does it with good results. Im thinking about doing my shorty windshield, not sure what design I would use yet though, and how it would hold up to bugs. Worth a try

Just do the inside of the windshield. Tape the outside/front so the camo doesnt get on it. You will see the camo thru windshield and still be able to clean it.

I already screwed that shield up. Tried to use some spray on tint and it ran like crazy. So I just spray painted it all black with several coats of clear coat. Holds up pretty good to bugs, if I do the dip i will sand the black paint off and dip the whole shield. Says it is harder than paint, we will see

Pretty neat, american chopper had a whole bike dipped in camo. Im thinking about doing some side covers I have in the carbon fiber. Maybe even do the inside of my fairing. I have a couple synethetic gun stocks id like to to in camo also. Hell I want to dip everything I can in the stuff. Wonder if it would stick to stainless steel. My muzzleloader is stainless and would like to do something different with it.

I bet a camo dipped deer skull would look pretty sweet...

If ALL the chrome could be stripped off of a bubbled alternator cover...I think it would look great in carbon fiber

Since brake fluid will strip the paint, would it remove the chrome from a plastic part?
