Firstly, although the bobber came in stock black, over time, the chrome fishtail pipes gradually showed signs of rust and wear and tear. Secondly, the mechanic who serviced my bobber accidentally split petrol from the petrol filter and was apathetic to wipe the stain on the chain cover and left engine block cover. For the chrome exhaust pipe, after sanding it down, I first coated it with plastic acrylic to give the high temperature paint a good primer to grip on. Later, both components were sprayed black with that paint. Finally, I polished it off to a high matt glaze which helped to smoothen the finish.
