Best $80 I've spent on the Monster so far.



Those look excellent! I notice you have all one color, I am hoping they can take my pipes apart and put new rivets in or maybe mask off sections, I want my ends and rivets to still be silver... I need to find a place this week.

They can mask off whatever you want.  You may notice that I had them mask the sections of pipe on the muffler that the header pipes fit into.  It's already very tight and I didn't want fitment problems that required removing the coating, even though a ceramic coating is extremely thin.

Nice, I will have them mask off the ends and hopefully they can get detailed enough to mask off the rivets, or they will need to be taken apart or something... I guess I could always compromise a bit if I need to but ideally I want the rivets still silver.

Hey anybody know what the running temperature of the canasters are?  I'm taking my Duc to Dinner. I'll check the temp when I get to Cotton Patch and post it.  There are great Semi Gloss and Flat finishes in the DuPont Industrial Imron line to 300 degrees F but would have to be applied by spray.    ???

You can get FastBlack paint at most bike stores that has a rated temp of 1500 degrees. I can of paint is about $10.

I have a flat back paint on it, my IR reads it to be about 180degrees. The S pipes are 260 the tip of the udders are 380 the pipes them selves are over range. my max reading is 480. the part where the pipe meets the udder is 450ish

Dinner was great,...  The IR Thermometer showed 180 Degrees F maximum.  I'm running Remus Ti canasters.  That temperature shouldn't be any problem.
