Are they actually paint, or spray paint? And if they are spray paint, why not just peel them off?

If they are painted, I might be interested, lets talk. Pictures would be nice to.

he may have sanded them, which would leave the chrome scuffed.

I am also interested. is the Black S painted? or did you use a decal to cover the Red? if polizei doesn't want them I will trade with you. are you able to run without the markers for a few days or will i have to go without mine?

the process to paint them was ......sanded down the chrome with 80 grit and then sanded and wet sanded and sanded some more with 320 gritt to smooth out and then since the paint was flat black primer i did 4 coats with light sanding in between each coat....and the red s is black too

i would be interested in this...but you have yet to work out the situation with the Box top i bought from you a couple weeks ago....nor have you replied to my PMs about it. So I' believe i'll hold off for the time being before conducting any further transactions with you.

I am calm. i feel a week is plenty of time to get in touch with Alta, and you posted since my last PM. alta is fairly quick with their replies. maybe u should try posting your concerns with them in the Alta Q&A Thread. They seem to respond quickly on there as well.
