As for the chrome - some did the whole piece, and some only did parts.
It works great, spread it on, wait 20-30 minutes, rub the paint off. Repeat for any stubborn areas. I'm almost done with the forks now. Not bad for a days work if I do say so myself
In regards to the chrome; the whole fork isn't covered, just WAY past the crown and dropouts. I'd say maybe 2/3 of it has been chromed with 1/3 in the middle that isn't. I'll take a picture after I'm done cleaning it up.
I think I'm going to try and clean up the tangs and leave those unpainted. I think it looks better. Now just need to decide if I'm going to paint it white or black, but I guess that can wait until after primer anyway.
