Ceramic coated exhaust
Had these chromed stock pipes for a GS 850 redone in silver ceramic. Tolerates temps up to 1600 degrees, fraction of the cost of chroming and it looks fantastic. Very pleases with the results.

What was the condition before coating? I was told no go if any rust is apparent even after sand blasting.
TIA.

I had a set done local to me. They look great but are quite fragile. The coating tolerates heat nicely but not impacts.Ed
To measure is to know.

I was thinking of having them ceramic coated but I don't like the final finish. Would prefer something smoother.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

Mine were ceramic coated black by a local powder/ceramic coating company. I'll have to take a close up picture to see if it actually looks like that. Mine look pretty smooth to me with no sanding/polishing at all.
