High temp

 

Try ceramic coating that can withstand high temps & it can be done different colours you should have someone in Sydney that can do it... J&J Performance Ceramic Coating in Penrith

 

Thanks for the company name. I live in penrith too!!! Haha. Right in my own backyard. Appreciated.

Yeah normal powder coat will go to shit I reckon.....

 

Yeah...need to go ceramic. Then you can get rid of the wrap also. Check the stock destroyer exhausts...they're ceramic.
Be aware...it'll probably cost as much as the actual exhaust itself.

I've had a quote for $125 which isn't bad don't know how much more in Oz

 

Document everything along the way so if others have questions you can possibly help out. We will need pics of before and after at the very minimum. LoL

We love :boobs:
I mean We love pics!

 

As others have said, it must be CERAMIC coat. I recently had my headers and heat shields done with ceramic coat when I got my new Bassani slip-ons. It looks killer and is about a perfect match to black denim, BTW. I think I paid about $120 USD. Pictures coming to the VRSCF forum next week.

 

Here are pictures of mine with ceramic coat on the slip-ons and high temp powder coating on the heat shields. It cost me $80 or $90 bucks or something like that.

 

ceramic



Can you ceramic coat the slipon pipe, I just bought a set of slipons
from a forum member and my bike is vivid black want to do the pipes and header pipes and shields the same. yours look great thanks

 

You might have to do the Tabs to match ?


Also how did u get that visor to fit snug ???? I got one ready to go !!!!

I wish I had done them to match. You can't see in these pics but there is some discoloration of the writing because of the heat process. Maybe I'll just paint them with high temp flat black. More black is better, right BT?

I just picked up longer bolts and rubber washers as advised in another thread. It does look quite excellent, thanks for noticing!

 

BT i used some hose to make like a rubber washer and really tighten it down firm !!! Nice ride too mswjude !!!

 

Thanks, Watto! It's certainly a work in progress and a great way to spend cash that I should be spending on other things:broke:

 

Ya dude it looks Great! Seen it in person. Mike we are riding the Lowman loop this saturday. Over 700 corners and 6000 feet of elevation changes.... You should come. Arturo from Mtn Home is going to go I think.

 

Lowman pass? That sounds like a great way to spend a day! The ride there and back would be a perfect 2-day weekend trip but I am otherwise committed, unfortunately. Man, everything north of Boise is beautiful country.

 

There is high heat powder coating, I have used it with great success. It good to 1000 a degrees

 

According to the powder coater that did the work, the ceramic was not available in gloss (from his vendor), but the gloss powder coat was good to 1200 degrees. This was about 18 months ago and there may be more options now, or possibly different vendors that have more options.
I almost had him do the slip-ons in the high temp powder coat, gloss black, but I was worried that an issue that caused the discoloration to the original finish could happen again so I played it safe.

 

I was told Powders cannot withstand high heat. Most powder coats begin to fail when the temperature of the part reaches 500F or more. There are some high temp powders available that can last up to 900F but do not recommend any powdercoat on any exhaust component, or any part that will see heat above 500F. Powders do not contain a thermal barrier like ceramics do. When powdercoats fail, the coating comes off in big chunks.

 

Interested in this because i just finished watching the latest episode of american chopper and noticed paul jnr painted the exhaust on the latest qubx bike build not sure how they do it but would be interesting to know it looks bloody great....

 

Most of those bikes never get ridden after the build is done, Park it in a glass case. I got to see the Craftsman bike a few years after OCC built it and the only miles it had were the test drive from OCC once they got done building it, Craftsman tours the bike once and a while then it just sits in there corperate office collecting dust. Have a bike built in the 6 figure range just to look at it :spank:

 

Was about to say the same thing. Many of the bikes are 'unridable'.....and alot have stupidly undersized fuel tanks (.25 - .50 litre).

 

And massive wheels I knew all of what you said but it still surprises me they can even putter around on it with out too many issue to the paint on the exhausts.

 

Might be like engine paint ???

 

tommy, when I had the slips on I used exhaust heat wrap and sprayed it with that silicone spray there are some pictures if you search it looked great if you ask me

 

It looked as though it was a slip over cover of some kind paul jr. Had painted...
