I needed to prep this chain guard for paint. It’s chrome with rust so I started with the abrasive wheel on the 4 1/2” grinder which did a great job. It seems to have stripped the chrome down a bit and removed the rust. I’ll give it an oxalic acid bath to get rid of the rest of the rust. Then etch primer and more body work. I straightened out some of the dings with the body hammer. It will need a skim coat of filler to be smooth.
Have you looked at the Dupli-Color Metal Specks? Its not expensive, lays down good, has good coverage, and can be purchased almost any where. Here it is in blue.....Looks awesome. I’ll do some more homework.

I'll check that out. I'd like to have a heavy-ish metal flake effect on this one. I might have to bite the bullet and learn to paint with a spray gun so I can do the flake.
I wonder if a craft store like Michaels or an auto paint supply would sell a pack of flake only that you could sprinkle on while the paint is still wet.....just thinking out loud. I'm gonna look into that for future reference............
I couldn't wait so I just looked. Michael's has LOTS of options; more than I had time to explore now..........hmmmmm
