i painted my sons fatty pipe on his blaster blue to match his fenders. the first time i did it i did not bake the pipe and the paint bubbled as soon as he rode it, so i pulled it back off sanded it real good with emory cloth to rough it up, i repainted it but this time i put it in the oven and baked it like the can read, it has held up well for about three months.be sure and use the 1200 degree paint with ceramic in it,not the 400 degree engine paint,
