DA sander, 80 grit, self etching primer, DA sander, 180 grit, automotive primer, DA sander 220 grit, automotive primer. Any of the chrome plated stuff has a copper coating below the chrome. When you sand the chrome off you find it. It won't have sticking issues.

I never have adhesion issues. I also anodize but won't be doing any on this bike. Its very hard to get a good match to paint when anodizing. Most black anodizing turns purple after a while and there is zero chance of me matching the Viper blue with a dye. Chances are this bike will never see inclement weather, extended high speeds or aggressive riding.

More excuses for not updating. I've been very sick and my sister(the one married to the man I'm building the bike with) lost a baby(pregnant with twins). I'll update in the next day or two.

I didn't mention that all of the engine covers and mounts are painted with high heat(1700 degree) primer and enamel. I shouldn't have any issues with it.

I've made little progress on the Savage in the last couple of weeks. I picked up a couple new bikes, one being a 1980 Suzuki GS850 and the other a Honda Magna V65. Both are going to be rebuilt(neither were operational when I got them, the GS850 is now road ready and waiting on paint).

Since I had to rewire the entire bike I was checking that all the electronics were operational when I hit the horn for the first time. What I got was a startling duck call that made my dogs run in terror and me almost crap my pants.
