Ceramic coat sidepipes or not?
*Possibly* my last option to decide. I was planning on using VHT or PlasiKote black paint on my sidepipes, but now I'm reconsidering ceramic coating from ERA. I sort of like the look of the flat spray painted sidepipes and also like the ease of touching up. But ceramic, if it lasts long, may run cooler and be easier.
Pros and Cons of ceramic as I understand them:
Pros
- Clean, uniform look
- Cools quicker and may run cooler
Cons
- May not last that long (not sure)
- Hard to repair if damaged
- Need to recoat ($) if damaged or worn
- $$, but not that much
Your experience with ceramic coating would be appreciated. Thanks.
