Polishing Toomey Header

[Yamaha]

Is it possible to polish my black toomey header to a nice shiny chrome like finish?

I polished the T5 logo on them about a week ago and it looks great I was just wondering if I could do the entire thing. Also is there any type of paint that will stay on the header without burning off in 2 seconds?

Thanks for your replies

You could get it that jet hot coating that they use on automotive headers. It keeps the heat in and looks pretty decent. I am not to sure how much it cost. I think that it is also pretty durable. The problem with polishing is that it takes more upkeep to keep it looking good. There is nothing that is going to shine as good as a set of chrome pipes.

Anywhere you've polished is going to rust if not treated. For paint, I've had really good luck with Engine Enamel High Heat.

with used a light disc sander on the cordless drill, dropped some high heat primer and high heat gloss black. light coats at a time and the came out pretty good. don't know how it would hold thru some Glamis sandune blasting. See the difference on one completed side.
