There is a guy that I was referred to by a friend that does it on site and is located in Baton Rouge. His name is Johnny and he said that he does rims for 700.00 a set which I didnt think was bad at all considering you wouldnt have the down time with waiting for them to be sent out. He also said that he can re-chrome my engine case covers....gotta bring them in for a price. Here is the company name Scenic Perfection Bumper & Chrome Co...didnt know if it was cool to post the rest of their info or not but I'm sure anyone can google them.;)

I think it would be a pain in the a$$ to keep up with. I also seen a bike done like that, I would think it would cost a bunch to have it done.

it depends. There is chrome paint, looks almost exactly like chrome, and there is actual chroming. Since our tank and fenders are made of metal they can be actually chromed...

The paint is slightly cheaper, but is still by far the most expensive automotive paint I've ever seen.

It all depends on your tastes:

yeah, just did a quick search, approximately $500 per liter.

I could easily be wrong here, I don't know much about it....
