from justglidin:
"Did you HD black or VHT wrinkle black or what?"
The PC shop used their own supply of wrinkle and gloss black on the covers. On the push rod tube covers, after scuffing off the chrome, I sprayed VHT header paint, cured as per VHT instructions, then sprayed Rustoleum textured black. Will see how they hold up over the long haul.
from djack:
"Are them stainless exhaust peaking out from behind the heatshields?"
Those are Harley pipes treated with some 400/800 grit emery and buffed with Semi-Chrome metal polish. Not exactly stainless, but definitely a little brighter than stock.
Appreciate all the positive feedback - thanks.
