[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 125921, member: 456"] Ceramic coating will not look shiny like chrome or stainless. Roy Robertson has it on the exhaust pipes of his Egli and it looks very good, but not like chrome or stainless. Years ago one of my chums dropped his Shadow and it slid down the road on the rear exhaust pipe which was flattened. The diamond hard chrome was unmarked and had not released from the underlying bent metal. From that experience I do not think that you will do better than DHC. The problem is how badly scored the present tubes are. If they are so bad that polishing or metal spraying or whatever will not remove the scoring then , although this might sound silly, just cut off the old tubes and braze new tubes on and then get them DHCd it won't be cheap but you will never have to do it again.
