Scratched Ceramic Thunderheader!!!
I scratched my Ceramic Thunderheader!!! Any tips on how to fix it without having to powerdcoat entire exhaust??? I scratched the actual exhaust not the shields so it's not like I can just pop them off to fix it.

Get a spray can of black BBQ paint at Lowe's or Home depot. Shake the **** out of the can and spray about a 1/4 inch into a junk plastic cup or coffee can lid you have laying around. If you don't have a pinstripe or other teeny tiny pointed tip paint brush laying around, take a piece of paper towel from the kitchen and roll it into a point. Dab it into the paint and then dab the paint into the scratch a Small bit at a time. Put about 5 coats 5-10 minutes apart into, not around, the scratch. Wait a dozen hours or till the next day and fire her up. The paint should smoke for a few minutes then cure into the scratch. Should hide the scratch pretty well and stop further issues.
