I went to my buddy's work to use a paint booth to paint my exhaust and other black bits. Used VHT high heat header plaint in flat black then used vht high heat ceramic clear coat for a little shine. I won't quit my day job...but good enough...lol

Lol...I don't even think I could find those....I would buy them then keep my 4-1 on it anyway.

Got some more parts ready for install...carbs back from the vapour blaster and engine bits back from Vic Plating. Very happy...

Is there something special about that gold gas cap? I can't quite make it out.

Lol...it's the original black cap but they are brass under that paint. I like the bling...I had done the same thing to my blue 83

That's coming out so nice. Your painter did an excellent job on the body parts. I, too, used the VHT flat black header paint for my exhaust. I noticed, accidentally, that if you let them dry for a few days, then rub them down with a blue paper shop rag, they get a real nice shine to them almost a ceramic-looking finish.

Thanks I’m really happy with the paint. Good to know about the rub down effect! I’ll post some pics of my results on the exhaust. Cheers

Trevor, I have a pristine, original, complete, exhaust system for a 82 GS-1100e. I would consider selling it to you. It won't be cheap and the shipping might be expensive. If you think you might be interested in it let me know...

Good work with the spray bomb on headers! Did you use their primer too? (I had trouble with the clear coat lifting the paint so I'll be leery of that again... so what trick did you use?)

No trick. I did two coats of the flat black then let it sit for an hour then went at it with the clear coat. Worked good for me.
