you saw how fast your paint wore off the first time right? PC wont wear anywhere near that fast.

we pc parts here almost every day make sure who ever you take it to is going to mask or plus the bolt holes other wise you may end up having to sand the pc ouot of hols, or tap them clean. Most shops use plugs. We learned the hard way it the fit is snug you will have trouble getting the parts back together.

Paint will hold up fine........as long as you don't ride it :D Powdercoat is the way to go for sure!

I posted a pic of a HMF pipe that I did, with normal pc coating you can do the can but the pipe leading in will more than likely come off. I have some high temp that I plan on trying for the head pipe. Will have to see how it works. PC is some very tough stuff
