refinished fmf

[4cfed]

tryied to clean up the fmf for the lt250r yesterday.... didnt go so well... wire wheel, scotch pad on the drill, california gold and steel wool.. finish was just to gone....


sooo i went from this.. lots of rust.....

to this................

went to work with the wire wheel and the scotch pad on the drill..... 2 dusting coats followed by 3 light coats of high temp ( 2000 degree) header paint later.... and heat cycled the pipe right where it hands by stickin a heat gun in the inlet of the pipe and letting it run for 10 min, then cool than 15 min and cool.....
gotta get it on the machine and finish the baking process

thanks
thats the look i was going for ... its high temp header paint and has ceramic in it.. the flat aluminum color is a sweet color... and it should make the p[ipe stand out real nice on a yaelow and blue machine

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Hopefully it maintains it's current good looks over time.

i hope so to, only thing im concerned with it mud stains, cold mud and a hot pipe will burn into the finish, hopefuly this paint hold up

i have used that on headers before been good so far but it fades pretty bad after a few times of getting hot

im not worried about it fading, if it fades i maty just get it high heat powder coated

is chroming an option when it comes to recoating? i tried zinc plating, came out beautifully, looked like chrome with a bit of polish but it doesnt stand up to the heat and peels off at the header.
