Finned exhaust clamps cleaning up & replating?

<< < (3/3)

Spitfire:
I had mine re chromed and to be fair they lasted a lot of years but one went rustier than most, so I bought a new NOS one and it was as bad as the one that I wanted to replace, so I now do the same as flatfour, the rusty parts get a clean up and then the High temp Aluminium paint treatment, this also works on the welds on the header pipes.

Cheers

Dennis

Mine have also been painted as rust is inevitable.
I went a slightly different route as I have veriouse differnt rattle cans kicking around for special effects at work.
I treated the rust then painted them with gold rustoleum combicolor and then rustoleum chrome metallic.
They have lasted very well over two years. They have lost there shine but are still looking better then if they were done in VHT paint.

Cleaned mine up & was going to paint them, but took bike out for a ride instead ... oops! Then cleaned down bike & already exhaust  clamps are rusty after a fortnight! :(
I have a spare set which aren't too rusty which I'll paint then swap over ... wonder if exhaust will come off enough to swap over fins clamps without disturbing pipe to collector box &  muffler seals?
