Pro-Circuit Pipes can they be polished?

[Shee_Man]

Here is a picture of some pipes I just won off ebay... can these be polished if not what would it take to get them looking like new?

chrome them?

how much would that run?

Any suggestions?

I'm replacing DG pipes (supposed to suck ass) but at least they have a nice shiny finish.

Man that guy musta never cleaned his pipes

Ive got Pros and they are have a real good finish.

I guess with alot of elbow grease you could get them

lookin good. Not sure how much its gonna cost

to get um chromed but then they still gonna need to be

clean.

lol... i couldn't even tell what the finish was that's why i was asking if i'd need to chrome them to get the shiny look... so i could just polish them up like anything else?

or just use some mothers polish and buff them up?

How do i clean them... can i get them real nice and shiny?

[FadedDreams]

The Pro Circuits are a nickle finish.You'll be able to shine up the parts they still have some finish left.But where the rust spotsare,theres not much you can do.I had Pro Circuits,and i tried to polish the spot out,but it doesn't turn out very good.You could get them ceramic coated,its probably too late to get them chromed.They are in pretty bad shape.

Damn I have a brand new set of procircuit platinums and i was at Florence this weekend and noticed a pinhole in the weld....first day riding with them so now i have to send it back to get a new pipe, but i think i better polish mine after every ride after seeing those!

[Shee_Man]

lol... i didn't pay much for them...

 

But am I doomed for making them shiny... not even worth it try?

This chrome powdercoat... how good is it... no problem handling the conditions pipes normally do?

I wouldn't mind doing my swingarm, a-arms while i'm at it with the stuff.

I would either sand them down real good & hit'm with some black high-temp paint or look into getting them either Ceramic or JetHot coated. When my pc's are looking bad enough to bother me I'm getting them ceramic coated.

Ceramic coat looks bada$$ for most things. I had a set of headers for my truck done in ceramic. Kind of a shiny silver finish. I don't know how it would look on banshee pipes though.

[ledofthezep]

Just the same. My g/f's dad has some ceramic coated T5's he bought from someone here on the HQ I hooked him up with, can't ever remember who....but he loves the shit out of them & they look kick ass!

[sredish]

Yep, I'll be doing the same with my Fatties when the time comes.

[Shee_Man]

so if i try to polish them... they'll just get more messed up since they're "plated" and not actually stainless?

I don't do exhaust parts, the powderchrome will start to yellow at 700 deg F.

[fast500#12]

chromers wont dip used exhaust parts because it messes up the bath and the chrome doesnt stick like it should. i say high temp black if you can't get the ceramic done.

Just get them ceramic coated. First just try to use as much elbow grease as possible. you'd be surprised what you can do with some persistence.
