any1 dealt with them before? i sent them some pics of what i had two days ago, they havent gotten back to me with a quote yet. after another two days or so, screw it. i dont wana get dicked around on my parts taking forever. i know about jet hot, hp, and a few others, but dont know any1 whos done it recently. my pipe is 10pieces-4 flanges, 4 head pipes, collector, and megaphone, in case ne1 is wondering. i DO NOT wana chrome it, but would prefer the chrome like (gotta be ceramic, not powder) coating as opposed to the usual black or boring ass grey color. any suggestions?

dude... I dunno... I think the black would look fuck'n pimp with your frame and swing arm being black... then again... your front fender is chrome... :idk:

Don't do anything ceramic besides an exhaust. The stuff sucks, and comes off WAY WAY too easily.

+1 The friend of ours with the anti-bling Busa has everything black powdercoated, and then the exhaust black ceremic coated, and it looks fuckin' sweet. Very clean and stealthy.







(BWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I still love the "I'm gay" smiley... :lol:)

i was thinkin the same thing, but the engine is varying shades of aluminum(needs to be polished lol) and chrome, the new paint job is kinda on the dark side, and the wheels are mostly black. seems like i need alil more shine to offset all the darkness. i may paint the headlite, fender and forks to match the bike too

thats what im talkin about-my exhaust is 6 pieces lol

you're the 1st to say ceramic sucks tho, whys that? what company did you use?

jet hot just told me 220 plus shipping for the sterling look on the inside and outside, basically looks like highly polished aluminum. still waiting for 3 other companies to reply

It sucks cause its so freakin thin!! You can wear it off with about anything... the thinness is what makes it awesome for temps... but it sucks for durability.

hmm-so i shouldnt coat the megaphone, cuz its next to the peg and my boot's gonna be constantly rubbing on it?

If you're just ceramic coating it for looks mostly, why not just powdercoat it with high temp shit? Or cheaper yet (if you go black), just grab a couple cans of high temp grill paint and have at it.

I know a lot of people blast on header wrap and really I've never liked the way it looks, but once I did it on my Buell, I think it turned out pretty sick.

na, ceramic was for the cooling properties, the 1-2hp you get from it, and the fact that it wont burn the shit outta me. i was actually thinkin function over form this time

imo header wrap wont look good on this bike.

for all you photoshop peeps, heres a pic close to the color the bike is now, can u make the pipe black? -then every1 can chime in on what color it should be, black or chrome-ish. fyi: the forks will probably be black, gold calipers, fender painted to match bike color. i say probably because im just tossin ideas around in my head right now

I think the all black on the header section would look killer... then leave the megaphone chrome!

But yeah... the ceramic rubs off EASY!! Too easy!

This is pretty much exactlly how it would look with powerdercoated pipes and btw mspaint > photoshop.

a shitty quick attempt... but an idea

Hands Down the BEST in the business is by far Calico Coatings!!..They have done all my stuff and they actually do all Nascar stuff too....Many different coatings available...Application specific!..Internal/External

im gonna play with those pics, thanks

i contacted calico actually, but i have never heard of em. good to know you had a gd experience

Someone on Badweb recently had their 1125R headers ceramic coated...
If i can find it I'll let you know where.

im like a two year old with crayons when it comes to mspaint or photoshop, but check these out....comments/suggestions?

heres my answer-i think. no clue if it turns out like that tho

im tired of dealin with this thing-i wana do soooooo much to it that sometimes i lose sight of the end. sometimes i just sit and look at it.... so fuck it. im gonna run thru it like osp would run thru taters whore of a ex wife on a drunken cocaine fueled binge
