My pal Kev did that on his Eldo. Painted the panels metallic black the same
as the frame and crash bars(which makes them appear part of the frame
itself), rest of the bike is your basic black. Looks good, matches up very
well. Sort of conservative, one can only tell in the sunlight.

Oh, now I get it. Nope, I've never seen one done that way. I was talking
about painting the area normally chromed a contrasting color.

the part left chrome), and left the rest of the tank in all of it's
expensive chrome glory, I would love to see pictures

Yeah, Mark has done it. I saw at least one of his painted
tanks last
week. I did my Ambo that way too, it looks fine. If you want
I'll
get a
picture.

I think Mark Ethredge did one a year ago with a spray can.
Looked

fine.
