SilentAgro Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hey mitchell9006. i have a yamaha xj600 im turning into a street fighter, black and gold is the idea for it. Probably a silly thing to ask as it will most likely cost a fortune, but how much would it be to gold plate some fabricated parts made out of aluminium?
