Hi Does anyone know if you can powdercoat or stove enammel allspeed exhausts and how does it stand up to heat have been told 2 stroke exhausts run much cooler than 4 stroke ones.

Powder coat wont work - Ive seen it applied and it will soften.

Try this
http://www.camcoat.u-net.com/Exhausts.htm

Click on prices and it shows the bike exhaust prices.

I am thinking of this for my under seat exhaust, to try & reduce the radiant heat.

The Alpha I have was stripped by Mikey.

I think Camcoat blast things, not sure if this will remove the chrome efficiently though. :roll:

Hey Ginger... those pipes looks really nice :blah

Did you do the outside and inside full coating?
What to do when it start to come off again is it just send it back and get them
recoated?
I think I will do that with my Nitro racing exhaust is it just to send it to them, or maybe I should bring them over when coming to Stafford :?:

Anyway very nice looking exhaust :twisted:

See you all at Stafford

Daft question can you coat stainless steel?

Morton,
Just had the 'economy' outside only version done. Camcoat will probably have a stand at Stafford. It may be possible to deliver your pipes there, but I would check with them first.

Janluke,
Stainless is no problem. The link pipe in my pic was stainless. Aluminium is ok too. Exhaust clamps were also done by Camcoat.

Thanks

I like the idea of "blacking" my Harris/ExhaustCraft pipe on the GPZ

Thanks bear.
I will send them an email!

Have you started up with the pipes yet? Do you know if the heat make some miscolour or whitening to the pipes? The traditional heat paint is no good when it comes to that matter they go white from the heat almost at once :evil:
The best I have tried is the one from BMW, but it,s getting hard to find now

Morton,
The surface around the first bend of the headers lost some of it's smoothness, but didn't discolour. Not sure if 14 Dyno runs had anything to do with this or not. :roll:
Looked good to the eye, it was only when you ran your hand over it that it was noticeable. Maybe having the insides done would have stopped this :?
