bsriot18 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Hey guys - I powder coated some old rusty FMF pipes with a high temp flat black powder good for 1200 degree and they came out looking sweet. Would anybody be interested in getting this done? If you ship me your old pipes I can do both pipes for $125 shipped back to your door. Colors are black, flat black and a flat silver. Text me 570 856 9284 for pictures and info or BBS powder coating on FB. Edited January 27, 2017 by bsriot18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I just did a set in regular gloss black on a $$$ build. I had no idea that it is not up to even the low temps on most two strokes. Long story short, it melted and burned right off! That was a leason learned the hard way I gess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsriot18 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Regular powder coat is going to burn off. It's only good to about 450... what I'm using is high temperature powder that withstands temperatures of 1200 degrees. You and I are talking about two totally different things but if you want me to fix your pipes you can send them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsriot18 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Their* But rattle can high temp is just as good for pipes. But spray paint won't withstand rock chips like high temp powder coat will. Edited January 27, 2017 by bsriot18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsriot18 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Powder will still chip, seen it happen with frames. With paint, easy to just spray and done. Not with powder. go to my FB page BBS Powder Coating and watch me hit a candy colored piece of tubing with a hammer... it only chips when it's done improperly.

bigweav81 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I guess I just don't see the point, and the appearance doesn't seem attractive. To each their own. Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk I only did it cause I had a set of rusty pipes and I'm building a murdered out 521... otherwise I would want nice polished chrome but for guys debating buying new pipes cause theirs are rusty and nasty - this is a nice fix IMO. And $125 is a good price. The powder alone is $30 a pound. shipping will be $25-30. Blast media is $7 so I make $53-$58 not factoring in my equipment overhead and electricity lol... just figured I'd offer this to you guys.

bsriot18 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 $150 for some PC on some old pipes. or $6 for a can of paint https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Oleum-High-Heat-Flat-Spray-Paint-Black/17203457 I just did this on a set of T5 pipes. Before After The market you are trying to get into, used pipes. People are not going to spend $150 to PC them. Those look sweet but I can pressure wash that right off... it's $125 shipped back to you and it's powder coat. If you want to respray paint your pipes every 10 hours of riding for $10 than have at it. I just want the longevity of powder and figured I'd offer it for those who want the same. We spend thousands on motors so $125 for pipes that will almost certainly never need to be redone is a win in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
