I mirror polished the inside of mine then sprayed the outside with 1200 degree BBQ paint. Without the mirror polish it still got very hot. Z |

I didn't go as far as mirror polish, but did buff the inside to a dull shine. Painted the outside with the ceramic-based header paint and baked in the oven at 400 degrees for 4 hours, according to the instructions on the can. Holding up great! |

I plan on doing a lot in white to match the bike, want to add color under the frame (D&D exhaust end cap, header cover, passenger fot peg brackets, heel gaurds and the plastic block behind the rear header). Already painted the front pulley cover, looks much diffrent now. |

Hmmmmm, I've been thinking that the muffler would look good with a gloss black powder coat. Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind this winter. |
