    I would get it polished instead, so it looks new rather than cheap and nasty with flaky paint after a few months.

    settle on black then, if the paint does decide to flake will be less noticable.

    decided im having black now,been down today and he has done a golf engine in black and silver, it looks mint ,
    im also thinking of having the rocker cover black to.
    he says if the paint does flake off hell touch it up,or give me some paint to tart it back up.
