Here's a link to a guy that ceramic coated the headers on his 1125R.
Scroll down 10 posts or so for a pic.

I'll look around, there was someone that polished theirs too, seems that they stayed shiney for awhile, even with some blueing.

Not sure if it would suit your purpose but in the cruiser world I believe they use muratic acid to "Wash" the bluing off. I guess I am kind of old school in that I think the bluing give the ride character

I like the blue. So I'm not worried about it.

Agreed... wrap is cool. High gloss silver ceramic would be PIMP!!!

But Marko... mucho better polished!!

Says the king of chrome

I agree though. If mine weren't semi hidden, they probably would have had the same treatment a while ago.
