Dj Danger Posted May 9, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2017 So , like a lot of BUBS owners, my tips were starting to flake the chrome plating off really badly, and I got sick of looking at it. Here are the finished product. With a little good old fashion elbow grease, and some high temp header coating, they look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubsie Posted May 10, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2017 They look great. Really great. I have V&H Monster Ovals on my '08 that have the same thing happening to the chrome caps. You just gave me inspiration to paint them like you did on the Bubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just gave me inspiration to paint them like you did on the Bubs. I got the paint at AutoZone. It is VHT (Think thats the name) ceramic header paint. I have 3 light coats, and one medium coat. If you have your tips off when you do them, the can gives you instructions for curing them, in the oven. I rode about an hour and a half the day after I painted them, ( I painted mine on the bike) , no smell of paint, no bubbling, not tacky to the touch. I THINK, they also make a gloss black, but not in the header coating, however, the regular high temp VHT is good for 600 degrees I believe. I wouldn't think the tips get any hotter than that !
