This might be a strange inquiry but is there anybody who has powder coated anything black that would like to go back to chrome...a parts switch for lack of a better word.
I want black valve covers, timing cover, carb intake tubes, basically anything that was chrome that you make black and want to go back to chrome...
Thanks in advance

I've PC'ed my valve, cam end and timing belt covers as well as wheels and handle bars on two of my Valkyries.
It was relatively inexpensive and I really think I may do it on my Interstate too.
And no,.....don't want to trade.

You can have them powder coated chrome again, I know it doesn't look the same, or better yet I had a set of wheels powder coated translucent red, I think the translucent colors look better than chrome anyway, just a thought.
