Q. About Paintint Yoshi. Slip-On

[Spliff]

I found a Yoshi. Slip-On on eBay for really cheap because it has a lot of scratches and a few dents in it. I can't afford a nice one right now, but I seriously NEED some sound from my bike because I'm going crazy riding with everyone else I know and they're loud ass bikes. I was just wondering if there was any way I could try to get the dent out of the can, and maybe paint it. What paint should I use to paint the can and mid-pipe?

The mid pipe you can paint with Hi temp engine paint...or have it Powder Coated with ceramic powder coating...The can?? Never heard of anyone actually painting it...you would have to take the thing apart and look inside...post some pics that way we can get a visual of what you are looking at.

well, i'll probably just take the can apart and try and bang the dent out as good as possible, than I'll just paint the whole thing with hi temp engine paint, I'm sure it will work. Thanks bro

I have been told that you could clearcoat the carbon fiber ones! Not sure if that's true or not though. I have thought about trying it on mine.

Or BBQ paint .

Well, there are a lot of scrathces on the pipe that I'm getting, is there any way to polish the scratches out?

[bruisedkatana]

You could grab a dremel and put one of the flat brush attachments on it and put overlapping circles into the can. Maybe.... paint ontop of that would look cool too???




I think trying to sand the scratches out and make it look perfectly smooth is gonna be a bitch(?). [/img]

I have heard of people painting pipes with stove paint(wood Stove). Never seen it but i know that paint is availible in lots of colors and can take the heat.
