powder coat exhaust's heat shield black.
I'm not sure why but that is the first thing i thought of when i saw this bike. Maybe because the new zx6r has its hest shield in black and it looks good.
I just might go for it. But is powder coating what i shoukd be doing to this? Does it matter that it gets hot enough to cook an egg? |

If you're in a tight budget, Plasti Dip works well.

How does the plasti dip hold up to the heat?
I have never used it, I'm considering grabbing a can and having a bit of a play with laying down some lines/graphics, if it looks rubbish can just peel it off and pretend it never happened. Who knows I might just come up with something decent. |

I believe the ovens at work reach up to 360 degrees. Granted those are big playground parts

Plasti Dip is good up to 200F so it should hold up fine

pcing is fine for the muffler, if you want to do the header or midpipe, it is recc. that you go with ceramic due to the higher temps.

Powder coating is closer usually closer to 400 degrees. (ask me how I know) I have seen some bake at slightly lower temps but it all depends on the material in the oven.
We bake at 420

I don't recommend Plasti Dip on the exhaust. There are high temp paints available though. |
