Headpipe coating

[Drtridr18]

I want to keep my stock headpipe(just ordered HMF slip-on), grind out the welds, grind off &smooth over heatsheild mounts, and have it coated so it won't tarnish like it does now stock.

How much(and where could i get it done) would it cost to have it chromed or ceramic coated?

Anybody know?

Any ideas or input?



Thanks!!

I also bought the hmf slip on and i took my stock head pipes off
and polished them they are made out off stainless steel and they will polish up like crome mine have been polished for 6 months and they still look good. I done mine on a bench grinder with a polishing cloth wheel and polishing compound.
