Hi all, I have a couple of questions about Ceramic coating for motorcycle exhausts.
I recently bought a set of blacked out RoadBurner Large Radius pipes, and they do look great - at least they did at first.
I went for a 100 mile ride this weekend and it seemed like every road was under construction. Thanks to that, I had a few rock or other debris bounce off the bike, and the pipes. This caused the ceramic coating to chip, and now I have some very noticeable chips in the black coating that show the bare metal underneath.
I don't have much exp with ceramic coatings, but this seems rather bad. Also, I can use my fingernail to scrape off more of the coating all the way down to the bare metal.
Is this normal? and if so - that would seem to indicate ceramic coatings are for show and not use!
Any input or comments would be appreciated.
Doc
