dgk30 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Success!! Aircraft Remover did the trick on the red stuff. Still not sure what it was but the aircraft remover bubbled it up and I was able to wipe it away without affecting the chrome. Thanks for all the input, Now I can move on to polishing the silencers. Will post before and after pics of the whole system once finished. Edited August 5, 2014 by dgk30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrx46 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 might be powder coating over the chrome. its the poor mans anodizing. you shoot transparent powder coat over chrome and it gives it an anodized finish sorta, looks good actually if done right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I've seen that. It looks tits. However I don't think there are many good translucent powders that can handle the heat of expansion chambers. I remember seeing NitroTate do some nice blue on here, but that's about all I've seen as far as powder on pipes that isn't black, cream, or silverish.

Im in the process of building a purple banshee, gonna have all chrome and anodized purple hardware on it. would look bitchin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
