I was getting bored of the chrome lugs on my bike, plus they were tarnishing -not pretty. So, I used some 300 grit sandpaper to scuff up the lugs for better paint adhesion. I proceeded to mask off the frame to prevent overspray and hit it with black then a coat of clear. Then I used some fine grit 1500 sandpaper to wet sand a fade so it looked more factory +a coat of wax and some Bike Lust didn't hurt either.
Very straightforward. Though, I can write a DIY if requested to.
