why dont u just take in in to have it chromed... it will cost a few bucks but u wont have to worry about it wearing off or scratching and it wil look alot better...

 

That instant chrome stuff is VERY UN-DURABLE. It scrapes to WAY too easy. If you get gas on it is just melts right off. It looks good at first though. Have you pipe JET Hot coated with their new steerlling finish. It looks really nice. Actually, Nickel plating is suppose to be more durable than chrome. Just som FYI
