exaust paint

WARNING.
Don`t use Ceracote c- series coild- hardening coating on exhaust pipes.
I used it and it was excellent as long as det weather was sunny.
Riding two days in rain, and the headers looks like this:

Since I began riding on the street in 1982, I have known only two exhaust system finishes that stand up somewhat to regular wet weather use....

OEM exhaust double walled header pipes in chrome and black chrome!

The only aftermarket exhaust finishes that I know of that can stand up against OCCASIONAL wet weather riding are original manufacturer applied...

Single wall chrome, black chrome, and MAC's gloss Black Ceramic Coated systems.

The rest all don't fair well at all when it rains, or even if you run through a puddle on the street! The most they offer is some corrosion protection a bit better than bare metal, but for appearance they all fall short when hit by muddy water while hot.

I am about to try a new-to-me product called Xtreme made by KBC coatings on a KZ650 I'm working on. it is available in a few colors in an aerosol spray up to 1200 deg. F, or in a can rated up to 1500 deg. F, if you can apply with a spray gun (this is what I'm trying).

I'll let you know if it is any better than the BB-Q paint....

BTW - I know its not available for everyone, but for my own bikes, I like bare stainless steel or titanium - even when its dirty and discolored, it still looks o.k. - just saying....

Good finish so far, but haven`t tested it yet in high temp, still 3 monts of winter here.

A very nice GPz you have there!!!!

Ok, I"ll give the Ceracote a second chance, heat-hardened this time.
Got the exhaust back from the workshop two weeks ago, tjis is how it looks today.

Rustoleum has high temp paint also. They even have high heat primer.
