Ceramic coating?
Hey guys - I just got quoted $175 for ceramic coating (black) the heat shields for a pair of V&H straight shot mufflers (+ header shields). I thought that sounded pretty dang steep! Does this sound reasonable to you guys?? What do you think an acceptable price range should be?

Sounds pretty steep to me, but I feel that way anytime I have to spend money on bikes or parts. Fifty bucks less
would be better. I figure he would not be doing it for nothing and would still make a nice profit.

Two mufflers plus two heat shields, prep & ceramic coat, I would have been expecting about that price for a quality job.
Sometimes it's better to pay top price and get a good result than get a bargain price and forever be unhappy with the result.
You usally get what you pay for.

RE: Ceramic coating?
I would just have them glass beaded ,then paint them myself with aspray can ceramic black. total cost should be about 25 or 30 bucks.
I did my A/C cover like that, and recently did some chrome bars and did them in black.
