I know what you mean about being busy a work, it's NUTZ. Better than the alternative I guess.

im not a fan of chrome for mechanical parts as it retains heat which in turn makes things run hotter, flat black transfers heat the most effectively.

I just have a couple spots on my coil, looks like something, doubt the tires, rubbed a bit and nows its rusty. Maybe Ill try your technique, give a scruff and paint, with black.
