Pappy, what is the max temp powdercoat can handle? I was watching the "Biker Build off" on Discovery channel and they powdercoated a Harley exhaust flat black. It looked very good. Is this an option for us guys? Thanks for your time.

I took the badge off my E-series to shine it up a bit, it has an adheasive backing so be very careful, maybe you can reuse it. I can't

Thanks Joe, for the heads up. I'll have to remember that. I'm trying to figure out a heat shield for the head pipe then I'm going to get it cerami-coated.

ive done alot of exhausts in the black and it works fine. i havent had much luck with the silver. most of the exhausts i do get jet coated. most are rated for 800 to 1500 degree's.

Hey Soggyrider, I actually was talking about the header. My bad, I didn't specify. I was thinking about doing mine in black, do you have any experience with how well it will hold up?

Posted by: danney f

Your best bet is to stick with a ceramic based coating. I personally don't care to much for the high temp powders. The ceramic coatings hold up and look better.

I don't, but I do know of a couple people that have tacked a nut onto a pair of hose clamps an than used them to atached their stock sheild onto aftermarket headers.
