That Looks great man, is that the paint or powder coat? do you have to get a hi heat powder?, sand blasted before, or just sanded? Id rather do the powder coat and do it right the first time. also is that a semi gloss or gloss powder? and did you do a clear powder as well? sorry for all the questions. I want my pipes to look exactly like that. i sent u pics. u can post them if u want. Humm see I could hot find 1500* clear. never got them all good tho Quote
Nieskes Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Thats spray paint, I bead blasted them then painted. I did flat black first with clear coat over that. Quote
10milmike Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Well I sent them. Someone is wondering why is the asshole sending me pics of a 4 wheeler. Lol Quote
Banshee Chad Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 I used BBQ paint. But it gets tacky and sand sticks to it. Also gas makes it tacky.. So I green scuff padded them and put a few coats of cheap ass flat black paint on them and hit it with a heat gun. Then mounted, doesn't get tacky at all. I was BBQ painting them twice a year cuz.

06BCBANSHEE Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 So If I was to get them powder coated , are they gonna look better and last longer? I wasnt sure if powder coat would hold up against the heat. Quote
06BCBANSHEE Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Apparently PC affects performance on some pipes. Not sure if that is true, I believe Shearer mentioned it at one point. God damnit! now I dunno what to do Quote
fappy'97 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 I know its not on a Banshee... but I have a set of both powdercoated, and ceramic pipe on my Raptor. I like the ceramic better, since you can buff it to get it nice and glossy again. Ceramic- Crappy pic of Powdercoat- Quote

06BCBANSHEE Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Im guessing ceramic would hold up better than the powder? but not have as great of a finish? I found a local shop that specialized in high heat ceramic coatings. emailed them to get a quote, whats the usual price for 2 expansion chambers? Quote
