THE GRIM RIPPER Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 Toomey doesnt sell black t5's right? (I think they come in unfinished and chrome) So..... ceramic coat maybe???? Anyone have black t5's? Quote
rb0804 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 there is a high temp exhaust paint thats black, you can pick it up at the auto parts store, and when you run the bike and get it hot it kinda cooks itself on there Quote
mdhc500 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) I had some Fatty's ceramic coated... Go with a reputable powder coater, have him bake them a few cycles BEFORE he coats them when he is curing other projects. This will burn out the oil inside the pipe hopfully. Make sure he cleans them really well before he shoots them, really good like where the springs attach and where the mounting plates attach. After he shoots and cures them handle them very carefully until you get a few heat cycles on them... You will love it... I find mine retain heat a bit more it seems. I was told it can help with burning out the extra oil that builds in the pipe kind of like a scavange effect of sorts... Stay away from the crap you get from the parts store... If you must do it that way clean the pipes like 40 times before you spray them, and then bake them in an oven to cure for 30 minutes at like 375 0r 400... They will smoke if you do this, so if your oven does not self vent do it in an old oven or stove outside or in a garage... Mine cost me 65 bucks to be coated, but I did most of the prep work... Hope this helps! Edited August 6, 2008 by mdhc500 Quote

Hope this helps! Thanks man! I know a guy who does my frames and shit... Hes super good at powder and he always askes me when I'm gonna give him something to ceramic coat. Guess I'll give it a shot. And rb0804.... That high temp paint at Pep girls?.... That stuff will just make you insane trying to get it stick to anything. Ive used it succesfully like once painting a Honda block but I meticulously went over the whole block with 3 different kinds of solvents. And it still wasnt perfect. Quote
