A silver metallic paint marker would do the trick or replace the whole thing from another junked one.

replace or fix the piece that is peeling off, then have it all rechromed.

What's to love? just a pic of the whip and a few links. It's nice, but idk about love. And don't be afraid to check out the Team Chozen site. I do all the work on there and we have a high caliber of rides. :smokin:

Have you guys tried to use a heat gun to remove it? Im not really sure how its mounted. But I've helped people remove emblems with heat guns. Just have to be very carefull with it.
