ive picked up a db silver streak ii but chrome is shot. so two questions does anyone now what vert-ego charge for re chroming or if i powder coat it what is the correct colour for the harry leary db cheers scott

If you get Vert-ego to do it it`s going to be around the £200 mark, but it will be good quality 

I`m not sure that they came in powder, it`s either chrome or smoked chrome I think

They came in SMoked Chrome we have been searching for a solution the DBs were in a blue ish colour as well check these 2 links out

this will give you an insight in to the research I and others have been doing

What I would say is dont at this stage go the powder coat route to be honest yes it is a quick solution to get the bike painted up but to be honest if it is worth doing then do it correctly

Vert-ego did a restore on a DB LT some months a go http://www.vert-ego.com/main.htm

Go to bike sand frames the bike looked ok but the colour just aint the same

as you will see it has a pearlecent effect on top of the chrome and has a hint of blue the best colour we have found is the smae as the trumpet etc.. but so far not found anyone with a big enough tub to sort it out for us

 

Hope this helps
