Default New wrap on the exhaust

Since the last wrap got tore off I finally got around to wrapping them again. This time I took the advise of members and soaked the wrap in water, let it dry and then painted the wrap with the 2000 degree black paint. I'm diggin the look with the black wrap. Thanks for the motivation to do it Story808. What to do to it next, now that is the question!!

Looks great. Never cared much for the wrapped pipes but got to say your bike is changing my mind.

Yeah, those are the sampsons. No baffles and they are quite loud, louder than my cholos. I like em, just can't ride around slammed and take a sharp right turn. Pipes are so low that they will scrape at the radius at the back.

So far so good. Just made sure I tapped all the chrome off when I had the pipes off. Put about 3 coats on them, smoked a little at first. Will report back in a few weeks to show how they are holding up.

I'm planning on wrapping mine this weekend, how did you spray them after clamping the wrap down and not coat the pipe clamps? I'm assuming you used black spray over the black wrap right?
