MDS2106 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 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, Quote
JayFressh Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Are they aluminum? If so polish, if not chrome. Your are bound to fail with paint. Quote
ledofthezep Posted February 1, 2005 Report Posted February 1, 2005 Sand the shit out of them & clean them really good. Then use high-temp header or engine paint. Works like a champ. Here's a set of Trinity stage IV's I did... Quote
