Paint it to make them look nice, then use model paint and a toothpick to fill in the letters.

Turtle Wax Black Chrome, or Mother's Back-To-Black Trim Restorer, are way better.

Absolutely... Riding it home made me wish I never sold my 500 Ninja.

Probably what I'm going to have to do, but that's going to be a PITA and I'm sure to fuck it up.

Now pics of ONSSP on it!
That's part of one of my many ongoing projects... it's part of ONSSP's Halloween costume, which will be done this weekend...

Once I get this thing sorted out, we'll certainly get some parking lot action going, w/ pics.

Nope. Mothers is the bomb-digity. I did the Miata's bumpers in the stuff and all the black on my Mini when I had it. That mini was surrounded in black rubber - it's almost like they expect them to be owned by women that play bumper cars more than driver them... oh wait....

Nice find!

I remember the first 500 I saw on CL.......I went out to see it, and the dipshit was running it with no air filter, in a dusty rural area. Said it "increased power"
