'Never had any success with getting a good finish. Anyone have any personal experience of a paint that gives a glossy or "teflon" type finish? Not interested in the matt finish paints. Cheers.

The system is too old to warrant sending away for specialist coating, just trying to tidy up without spending £400 on a stainless set up.

Cheers for the reply. It's the full system on a 500 Morini v-twin. I think it left the factory with what was known as a "black chrome" finish. It's had thirty odd years of minor scratches and scrapes but is basically solid. As you say, the silencers will remain cool enough but the downpipes will need something special...

Thanks for the replies - I may just tidy up the silencers as it now looks like the downpipes won't come off without a fight (and subsequent damage). I'll post some pic's when it's all done.
