The stock grey coating on my '09 M1100's front cylinder head is already beginning to flake and deteriorate into ugliness.
Other than choosing to no longer notice its premature deterioration.... what are my options if I want to pretty it up or restore the finish?
I've had the same issue since year one >:(
Finally, an opportunity has come along.
My horizontal head needs inspection and maybe repair, so I'm having it blasted and high-temp painted black.
These come recommended by Ducpainter

If you have Sherwin-Williams paint in your country they make a product called 'Flame-Proof' that also has a 12000 rating and comes in several colors.
... would disassembly be required for it's application?

not necessarily for application...
but you need to remove the damaged coating, and most use blasting as the fastest/easiest method.
I'd disassemble and clean for that.

Probably work just fine.
VHT is a division of Dupli-Color, a Sherwin Williams Company.
Sounds like the same stuff.
