Black Exhaust
A friend of mine just bought a '07 Street Glide from another guy I know. The other guy already started the blackening out process, but now my buddy wants to keep going with it.
He wants to go with a black exhaust system...........he already has V&H true dual head pipes and V&H Oval slip-ons.
What is the easiest/cheapest way to go with a black exhaust?
Do they sell black heatshields, or is it just as easy to send his out to be coated?
He wants to swap out the Oval slip-ons for Rinehart slip-ons, and he wants black mufflers..........any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Look through some of the past month's threads, I think this may be addressed in one of them. Several posts (here or at "another" website (HTT) 
) mentioned getting some high temperature header paint in a spray can at Auto Zone or other auto parts stores, following the directions and having pretty good results, all for the cost of 1-2 rattle cans, like under $15.00. For the price, it may be worth a shot and is a whole lot cheaper than a new black system or having it coated with a black ceramic. Just a thought.

I would guess you just scotchbrite the chrome on the heatshields, clean them real good, then rattle can them.
Sounds easy enough to me.........and cheap.
Mufflers I'm not sure what he wants..........he wants the Rineharts for the black tips and sound........not sure if he wants black muffler bodies or not.
Going to hook up with him this weekend and see what he wants to do........since I'll be doing the work for him.
