[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 177117, member: 2086"] Thanks I decided to stay with black pipes. I don't have the tools/materials to put a real shine on that pipe. Plus I've polished the exhaust pipe before on a DR650SE, and it was a bad idea. The pipe got hotter than a coated pipe, everything would stick to it and melt including flesh, and the rust is always an issue. I quickly painted it black and never looked back. Well I decided to go ahead and use the self etching primer on the pipe as well, time will tell if this was a good idea I guess. Then I scuffed it up with steel wool and hit it with a few coats of VHT. Hope it holds up well. Looks light in color due to flash. [ATTACH=full]23374[/ATTACH] I painted the subframe the same way, with duplicolor GM Torch Red. [ATTACH=full]23375[/ATTACH] That should keep the small rust issues I was having at bay. And my boots came in! No more irreparable foot damage trying to kick start this beast! [ATTACH=full]23377[/ATTACH] And then my craigslist find. Matching helmet, gloves, goggles, and jersey for $40! Used once lol. Must have been a fun ride. [ATTACH=full]23378[/ATTACH] Still waiting on that cylinder. Hopefully tomorrow ... [/QUOTE]
