Hmmm, i dont like this

This chrome cover doesnt stand scrutiny from anywhere less than 3ft away My options are limited really, its just too bigger surface for chrome paints. Its also not durable. I find chrome paints work quite well on smaller parts where the surface is not big enough to reflect images, just light.
The real cover would have been pressed tin plate sp polished alloy would be quite wrong, its probably going to be black or the body colour TBH.. I may need to try both and see what works.

The first one was Steve MacQueen's......who am i to argue
I think the Chrome look is a modern restoration thing, i cant find an original with chrome. Probably not much of a thing in 1937. The bling Harleys came along in the 1960's i think

Barbatos Rex loves chrome paint and has tested most of them.

I agree, don't think it would have been chrome. No expert but considering the times. Shiny and flashy wasn't a thing.

I echo what Saul posted. Research says this stuff is excellent, and so I got a bottle to test.
