Tempted to try and black out my stock chrome heat shields- who has done this, and how, and what happened? Thanks.

 

I have. I just used high temp exhaust paint. You need to scuff the chrome or it will come off easily.

Prime it, then paint it.



Note the mufflers are S&S and came powder coated satin black. The paint is flat black, I did the shields only. I did not scuff the chrome because I wanted to easily be able to clean and re-paint them until I settle on the finish I want.

 

I've done several sets of heatshields and even several mufflers. Use a good quality high heat paint and I use the ones with ceramic added. Not a hard job at all and you can touch up any spots later on that need it.

 

I have done it. Had them powder coated. worked great.

 

I did the ones on my wife's Sportster 4 or 5 (maybe 6 ... Time flies) with high temp satin black powder coat and they will look great ... Maybe I'll put up a pic eventually ...

 

Thinking about having mine powdercoated gloss black by the powder pro in Woodstock il? I think....
power duals I purchased from you. You can find pics onine of people who have had this done by them but can't find any gloss black power duals.

 

Had mine ceramic coated and turned out real nice.
