    I just had a thought.

    Instead of having to replace bedford flame stickers after
    they have scratched off, what if someone invented like a
    stencil of the flames to place over the plain chrome frame,(
    where you usually put the flame stickers.) then they would
    powder coat the frame. When they were done, they would
    remove the stencil and you would have a painted frame. But
    the places where the flames would be, there are perminent
    chrome flames!

    Anyways, just an idea. Tell me what you think.

    or you could get the stencils and spraypaint flames onto it
    whenever they come off. good idea though.

    hey guys I like the ideas, but don't you need to sand blast
    your frame before powder coating it???? meaning you wouldnt
    be able to leave the flame part chromed... just a thought

    What if you first did an undercoat down where the flames
    roughly should be, then put the stencil over it (to block
    out the next coat) and then you would have it. For example
    undercoat of yellow then stencil on and overcoat with
    black or something. Could look pretty cool, and then you
    could make other things. Or can you not put one powder
    coat over another?

    stickers the bedford flame stickers are pretty expensive...

    I'm not sure if it would be cheaper I have no idea what
    those things cost, I just thought of a way you could
    possibly do a more protected version. Got no idea if it
    could work.

    Well don't look at me I just provided a half-arsed, half-
    guessed technical solution to getting it more
    permanent, lol.

    Thats maybe not such a bad idea. Those flames look cool but
    if they come off as quick as the unicycle.com stickers then
    they'll need a more permanent solution.
