Brock would be a good one to call and see who he uses. I don't think he charges much more to have it done before shipping it to you. The thing now is if you get someone far away to do it you will have a lot in shipping.

Good question. I'm not sure if glossy colors could be acheived with hi temp coatings. I would sure like to know if you find out. Thanks

While very high temp coatings (1200-2000) are all flat, VHT has metallic paint for temps up to 650.

I am sure there are others too, to include stove paint.

I don't know where he gets it done but I always preferred powder coated over the stainless.

I don't believe you can powdercoat headers. It gets too hot.

Why wasn't this done before you purchased the pipe?

Definately give them a call, and they are located in the South suburbs of Chicago.

Maybe Black Chrome is what you're looking for, rather than a VHT matt finish?

@ eklipse636
Who said anything about powder coating you went off base with that one, johnsonzx14 said "where does brock do his ceramic coating?" Maybe I'm wrong but I thought powder coating was powder coating and ceramic coating was ceramic coating? I'm not trying to be sarcastic just trying not to get confused?

I know it sounds crazy but I sanded and painted mine (mid pipe, and end can) with high temp paint. After it dried in the sun 30min or so I threw it on the bike and let it run for about 15-20min.
Its been that way for 3years.

My Suzuki GS1100E 1983 was black chrome and it was beautiful.It came stock like that so someone must be able to do your pipe like that,
