New Color Again

[trinitysj]

So I painted it already once.. yellow and black. however the yellow's hardener was bad so it did not harden. Long story short... ended up doing a color change again and this is the new result.

Hope you guys like it. I tried to stay true to suzuki...







Now I have the pipes to do.. getting them powder coated.. will look good black under the lower cowl.

Then do the wheels. Not sure if I am going to do them gold or black.

Might want to do some searching here because I distinctly remember reading that pipes can't be powdercoated due to the heat issues. Every one was talking about ceramic coating or something of that sort

then maybe a high temp flat black paint or something like that... what do you think?

[cowboyup3371]

I've got a can of VHT Exhaust paint sitting here waiting for me to put it on. Need to get the really high heat one.

But again, look at other options listed in the forum. I remember reading several over the last few months.

That is what I was thinking.. the 3K degrees one maybe...

Your location says Atlanta but your neighborhood says OTP, maybe on the north side. ?

Nice job on the paint! It'll be time for me to re-spray my red bike before long.

That may have been the case before but not anymore; both of my exhaustrs were powdercoated with a newer high temp powdercoat and have had no issues. I went with this because twice with ceramic coating I had chalking.



Edit: If you are going to powdercoat your exhaust you must remove the chrome first. I said I had no problems but what I meant was from chalking. We took a shot with my old Harris on my S to see if it would somehow hold up with the chrome but it did not. My powdercoater had a feeling it wouldn't but wanted to try it to find out. Ceramic coating will not adhere either. either. Here is what happened:

So would painting them with exhaust or hightemp engine paint (flat black) work just as well?

Those will work fine as long as you remove the chrome. If you do not they will fail.

[cowboyup3371]

How did you remove the chrome?

I live in NY now, I moved a couple of years ago from near exit 101 on 85N. I may be taking a trip down there with the bike later this summer, I'll check in and see if you're up for a ride if I do.
