Exhaust Powdercoating

[GA400ex]

Has anyone ever powdercoated there headpipe?

Will it hold up?

I was thinking about getting a yoshi carbon pipe and then powdercoating the headpipe black or gunmetal. I really like the looks of a all black themed bike. What do you guys think?

Didnt work for me either ~:(

you'll need some high temp enamel. Try the stuff they have for brake calipers. That should hold up nicely.

Thanks guys. It has to be able to be done somehow, I have seen it on a Jesse James Chopper

I was thinking that pappy could do this with powdercoating. Hopefully he will see this and let us know.

It will work just make sure your using the correct powder. Some when at high temps will remelt.

it works sometimes, other times it doesnt.
i have done some small stuff to test the waters but truthfully it just didnt last or stay looking like it should.

a more predictable coating is as posted "ceramic coating". its about the same price, looks better and lasts longer.
