I'd guess some high quality Duplicolor or something chrome spraypaint.. Chrome spraypaint really does work much better than it sounds..I've used it several times. It's just the fact that I really, REALLY suck at spraypainting........

Someone on the site made an electrofl---***, I don't even remember how to spell it, and I'm a good speller! Electrofluoresis machine...something like that.. I guess it's supposed to be very good at prepping old, dirty, nasty parts for chroming, painting, etc.

*sheepish grin*

Yeah, yeah. Electroysis, the ultra cleaner. More DC power you pump in, the fast/stronger it cleans.

I shoulda snapped a pic of the bellhousing when it finished the next morning. Looked awesome!

Damn you.. Ok, I say all of us grab as many DC power units as we can get, and turn a gigantic dumpster into a big electrolysis machine... And one by one, we lower our entire motors into their via a chain and pulley system. 24 hours and voila....factory-new.
