Cheers Paul.

I done a search and found a place in Crewe which does ceramic coatings. There is no mention of exhausts but I sent them an email anyway.

Would still like the info though :smt003

Paddy,

Below is a copy of the e-mail I got from CamCoat. Link above as previously mentioned I believe.

Hi Paul,
Cost to triple coat your Falco exhaust pipes with polished Cermakrome
coating is £95 + VAT. Total with return carriage and VAT is £125.73.
Need 2 weeks to do the job.
Regards
Peter Carter

Hi,

I was put in touch with your company via a friend of mine and wondered if
you could quote for doing some work for me please?

I'm looking to get the downpipes for my Aprilia SL1000 Falco coated in your
ceramkote (polished) finish. The bike has a two into two system and would be
used pipes. The pipes are stainless steel and are in good (if slightly
discoloured) condition. I would clean and degrease them prior to sending to
you.

Could you give me a quote including return delivery to Newcastle upon Tyne
and also a turn round time please?

Nice one Paul, :smt003

The Tuono will be having the pipes done this winter guaranteed, but what with global warming giving us this brilliant riding weather (right up to the annual Falco ride out of course) I can't afford for the bike to be out of action for 2 weeks
