Cermakrome vs Chrome

[Buffalo Bill]

OK Folks,
I got a pair of mufflers Cermakromed, at Moore Power Coatings. The cost was $55 each, although their price list states $40 each for motorcycle mufflers.
These mufflers were from a GS750E type and in good shape, but they were black chromed and I preferred chrome. However rechroming may not be available for used mufflers, because the carbon buildup inside fouls the acid bath required. Rechroming is costly too. I chose cermakrome for the lower cost.
Anyway here is a cemakromed muffler held against an OEM Suzuki chromed muffler for your appraisal.

not a bad option at all.. i wonder, would having a muffler that is coloured from heat be reconditioned to "like new" finish this way..

looks fine by my standards, I don't drool over clean chrome, but do appreciate a clean bike. The pipe looks clean

Old chrome

Old funky chrome is no problem, they just spray over it. I would like to get the funky down pipes on my 1100G cermakromed, I just need to sand down the rusty areas to make them smooth.

And dont for fet the benefits Cerama has over chrome. No more burning yourself on any of the pipes coated. Plus if all their sales info about the added bonus of performance.

Can you go the other way with it? I have a chrome exhaust system that I want to take to black.

Don, he states old chrome is no problem so I would think it would work on decent chrome. Here's a couple of links for you.

Other color options too.

These guys offer other colors, and other shops do too.
