Default ceramic coated exhausts

Just wondering, everyone that's had their exhausts ceramic coated, how are they holding up and what company did you use? Jet hot, etc?

FWIW, My heatshields aren't ceramic coated, they were powder coated by a guy in Colorado Springs. Three years and 25,000 miles ( I have three bikes) and they still look like new. Surprised the hell out of me. These were done before V&H offered the ceramic flat finish, these are glossy.

Without going to the store first - is there a touch up paint for ceramic mufflers? I have a chip on mine I'd like to fix.

First thing I did was take mine off and send them to Jet Hot. After 7 years (my 03 FLHRI) they are still looking like brand new..

I had mine done this winter since I had the pipes off to do my handlebars. I used a local guy instead of sending them off, cost me $100, Just look at your local powder coaters theres bound to be 1 or 2 that do ceramic coating also.
I did mine because of the heat coming off the pipes, everyone including the guy that did mine claim it makes a hugh differance in felt heat, I can't say it's helped because I haven't gotten to ride it enough yet.

Thumbs up Professional Plating inc.

National company. $150 last week. They were nice enough to throw in the cross over. http://www.proplating.com/
