Just got my "BA" 2012 Street Bob, Denim Black, of course. I would like to have flat black pipes, but can't afford to buy new ones. One suggestion was to powder coat them. Would you guys recommend this? or should i just save the money for some slip-ons? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!!
Rust oleum makes a high temp paint that you can get at most auto parts stores. Rated for 2000 degrees and I've had mine painted for 2 years/25,000 miles and they still look good. It's all in how you prep before paint and if possible do the stages of baking the paint on in 3 stages. Cost $10.
Good to know...there are a few local places that will do them for about $100. Just wasn't sure if that's a good way to go. Is there something i need to specifically ask about the paint that is being used?

I did this to my heat shields. The powdercoat guy here in town said he didn't recommend powdercoating because of the high temps. So I just rattle caned them with high temp bbq paint. Few coats over a day or so. Didn't do any baking. So far so good, however I just did it this spring. I don't understand why powdercoating doesn't hold up as well as a can of spray paint to high heat. But then again, that's why I'm not a powdercoater.
I am having mine get ceramicoated to a matte black, guaranteed to hold up to the temps. This is costing me about $200 for my whole exhaust to get coated
