Exhaust coatings
 

The exhaust on the Raptor is not exactly looking pretty, well TBH it's been like that since we got it- not been polished once :rolleyes:.

Neither of us has a polishing fetish like Kwak or DizzyB.
So I was thinking of getting some sort of coating on the zorst only things I could think of were
Exhaust wrap (kitkat not keen on this)
Ceramic coated
Spray it with exhaust/high temp paint


Any other options?
Would powdercoating work?

You'd probably want a high temp paint, not sure what sorts of colours they are but yeah.. :|

from dave preston :yc is doing a test for me at the minute to see which paints to use great lad

Re: Exhaust coatings
 

Paint sounds ok but I want something that's going to last without me having to touch it up or it flaking off etc

Re: Exhaust coatings
 

this is what it's looking like now

like I said not exactly nice looking is it

Just get some of that wierd metal polish and a wire brush and spend about.. a weekend doing it.

Re: Exhaust coatings
 

Polishing is a definite no no!!!! [-X[-X

4 kids, a dog, 5 bikes in the household and work don't lend themselves to having much time to ride let alone a weekend of polishing! I don't even polish the Akra system on the SV!

Not sure if you'd want black, but I used to use black high temp BBQ paint on my CB500 exhaust quite a bit...seemed to scratch it alot somehow :S covers it well and it'd stop corrosion

Re: Exhaust coatings
 

yeah we're looking at satin black to match the peg hangers that i had powder coated a couple of months back

I'd definately give it a go, the finish is fairly good when you do it yourself, hanging it in the garden on a nice non-breezy day :P cheap stuff too
