Price and turn around time were absolutely great too http://www.performancecoatings.com/index2.html Title: Re: Black Headers?

after it cooled off, i whiped it down and it left a nice semi flat matte look on it. rode for 6k miles, rocks chips and such didnt bother it, not did my shoes kicking it. hres a pic http://i34.tinypic.com/jj66xl.jpg Title: Re: Black Headers?

Post by: ProTeal55 on September 23, 2008, 05:32:17 AM I used Duplicolor Low gloss engine enamel on my pipes and it held up freat (for about 100miles) before it started to chip/flake/etc.. Now I have to re-apply every once in awhile but overall it looks like ass. I am going to do a new exhaust (and have it professionally coated) so I am not too worried about it..
