    Painting my exhaust

    im gonna paint my V&H 4-in-to-1 headers and pipe today. I went to the store, they have orange, black, and silver header paint that is ceramic coated and will stand up to 1600 degrees f. by looking at my bike, what color should i paint it? I bought a can of orange, but can easily exchange for a different color.

        I'd pick Silver myself, but you won't go wrong with black, either. Start a poll!

        There are lots of oranges, but I can't imagine most of them looking appealing to me on your exhaust either.

                  Try and hunt down the sky-blue-pink

                  In my book it's either chrome or black.

                        I think the orange would "stick out" too much. Maybe a bit too "pimp daddy". I'd go with black and do the flanges and label in silver.

                            Keep it simple and it will look 'neat'. Leave the black and orange scheme for those that ride hardley's.
                            You'll look like a wannabee. Add the silver as Bruce mentioned.

                              IMHO, silver or black with a preference toward black. You will never make silver look like chrome, but you can get a good looking black pipe.
