Very smooth, how did you apply it in the end then? Powder Coated?

That looks nice. Makes the potato launcher look acceptable.

No powder coat, they would not touch the actual exhaust, I simply removed the end cap and the other cover, used some 1200 wet and dry and flatted them back, and the same on the exhaust, then gave it All a couple of coats of heat resistant Matt black, when dry flatted them back again and a couple of coats of gloss black, flatted back again (use plenty of water) and then two final coats of black gloss, all heat resistant.

Only hassle I had was with the bolts which hold the end cap and other bit on, they had some sort of anti vibrate red stuff on the threads which I had to wire brush out before they would screw back in. I intend when back from the Isle of Man to take them out and lube them with thread lock.

Nice job Alan, and definitely worth the effort I agree the old spud launcher looks much much more acceptable  :clap:

Now get out on it and lose those chicken strips  :mfr_lol:

Isle of man for a week starting tomorrow, the mountain should give those nice new PR3 tyres some help.

That looks really nice, great job well done. Just out of interest, could my chrome can be sprayed gloss black ?
