There is a cheaper way other than powder coating them. VHT spray paint is a fire proof paint up to 2000 degress. There is a baking process that makes them chemical proof etc. I made a set of pipes for my bike and couldnt afford the jet coating or chroming process, I sprayed mine and baked them about early april and ive ridin over 10k miles and havent had a problem with them yet. The part number for the flat black is sp-102. They have a website pj1.com.
Thanks for the tip! Actually, though, powdercoating costs me nothing but time, anymore, as I do it myself at home. That setup is one of the best investments I've made. For now, I just need to see if I like the contrast between the brushed-silver pipes, and the black bike. About the only chrome left on mine are the oil lines and pushrod tubes, so it's really getting somewhat monotonous.
