OK, I cheated

I don't quite have all the stuff I need, and I'll have to take most of it apart again, but I did a quick dry run to see what it's going to look like because I couldn't wait.

I think It's looking really good, and now I'm debating whether to clean the pipes and just keep them bare, or paint them with high temp paint?

Anyway, thanks for looking.

looks awesome. those pipes need like a matte polish. you could have them put into one of those vibrating polishers but not go all the way to the final polish. that would be badass

+1 it would be a 50/50 polish should fit well into the hole look of the bike, can't wait to see here done.

Actually I was at my father in law's place tonight and I thought he had a great suggestion: Gun-bluing!

Anyone have any experience with this?

dad has gun blued a couple of rifles before. practice on something else first, it took a few tires to get it looking good.

not sure how well it would hold up to the high temp
