The stock heat shielding wrap on my exhaust was getting pretty bad and the cans were getting stained from the red dirt where I ride. So I decided remove the factory wrap and go with DEI Titanium wrap and figured while the exhaust was off I would go ahead and sandblast everything and use some Rustoleum 2000° ceramic header paint.
I used one good coat of primer and three thin coats of flat black. This paint needs to go through a couple heat cycles to fully cure and does let off some smoke so doing that step outside was the best option. The wrap was easy enough and instead of the stainless ties that people complain about because they can’t get them tight enough I used stainless wire and it came out with a cleaner look.
One thing that’s not shown in the photos is the two layers of heat tape I used on the CVT exhaust.
