Has anyone PC'd there exhaust gloss black?
Pictures?

I've asked around and got some mixed reviews, just curious if anyone has tried it and how it turned out.
I'm thinking about trying it for a winter project.

Thanks

 

There is a forum member hear that goes by JRK5892 He is a forum sponsor with a powder coating business and he has done some pipes. There is a sub-forum for powder coat in paint in the General Tech Forums. If you start a thread there he will find you, or shoot him a PM. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/powde...and-paint-154/

 

I have done both.
I posted in that sub forum and got one response who said he did his gloss, but they turned dull shortly afterwards.
I sent a PM to JRK and he said that he has done them in the past with good results.
I was actually hoping to get some feedback from people that have done them and see some pictures with any luck.
The sub forum doesn't seem to get much traffic so I thought I'd try in here.

 

well here is my bike, gloss black supertrapp with Drilled heat shields. and they were done by the Poweder pro ( JRK5892) i know sean (the guy that does the PC) and he does great work, even when im a pain in the *** and want stuff done same day!! lol

the heat shileds faded or lost some gloss right at the heads, it gets really hot there, but its not noticable unless you right up on it. it could be my motor too, its beefed up a bit with a TMAX auto tuner, so i know its runing good. BUT I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE EM!! and his prices are right on too!!! i think im gonna bring him my floor boards tomorrow.

 

I have gloss black heat shields on the head pipes. They have been on for this past riding season. No problems as they look the same as when I installed them in the spring.



Not a close up but you get the idea.

 

Gloss black exhaust is a great idea. Never thought of that until now.

 

If you ride anywhere where they salt the roads, you can count on re-coating your exhaust once a year. Not a big deal, but between the road salt and the debris hitting the thing, a black exhaust looks like hell after a year.

 

decent powder coat is 100% impervious to road salt. and most any other chemicals. i had my pipes done glossy on my sporty and rode the crap out of it, never even chipped. it was perfect. its all in the quality of powder and the guy spraying it.

 

had mine powdercoated gloss dulled by the motor and the muffler dulled had ceramic coating with no problems

 

It is, but it's not impervious to scratching, which is how it'll fail.
