Slightly darkens paint but sheets very good

It looks like you got it on the camera lens as well in the first few pics. What's it like to apply, does is dry into a milky powdery colour like wax when ready to wipe off or is it a case of applying a thin layer then wiping straight off and allowing to dry.
It's certainly got some shine to it though it's hard to tell cause you bike is in such pristine condition anyway. The tree reflection on the tank is crystal clear.

That's not bad considering buying 2nd hand pipes would cost the same. And with the coating they wont go rusty all the time. It would be nice to see some pics once you have that done.

I just wiped it on left for a while about two cigs and a cup of tea
wiped of as it dont dry like wax still stays a tad smeary.
but i applied two coats which later found out i shoud not have so some one says on dw.
But I have one side of bike(left) with just one coat on so shall see.
Do i think it will last 5 year what they claim doubt it not like that any how.

I can't see how it would do any harm. Apply once in in one direction and once dried apply another coat in another direction which will cover any spots you may have missed the first time. 5 years does seem a bit optimistic, even if it last for a couple of years it's not a bad thing as it should even strengthen the paint so should withstand stone chips and stuff. I wonder how it would compare to the CQuartz UK edition.

two cigs and a cup of tea

proper time keeping that.

Are they happy to coat old pipes or do they want unused pipes? I know chrome platers won't take on pre used exhausts as it ruins their plating fluids when you introduce carbon from old exhausts. I must admit to not knowing how the ceramic coat is applied to them.

[benny hedges]

seen the process on another site and basiclly its very like powder coating but with a ceramic powder rather than polymer so it applies like a heat resistant coloured glaze rather than a melted paint coating.

very hard wearing and lasts ages, looks the bizzle

id imagine what youre refering to is like electroplating where the components are dipped in various tanks?
wit this theyre just mediablasted to bare metal then fired to cure the coating

i notice that camcoat do that diamondyze coating too... the stuff that i posted a vid of - it will wear the teeth off a file before it damages the coating....

i spoke to a few places about anodising the frame and swinger etc but tbh as there are cast sections it would look shite. it only looks good on billet ally.

George here's a link with a video that shows the carpro cquartz http://www.cquartz.com/ with a little explanation as to what it is.

one day i'll have to take a ride up to you chris, and spend some time cleaning my bike, stunning finish fella, if pigeon shite hit your bike it would just slide straight off....
and benny, i might have some of that on my exhaust, it looks good, as kev said tho, would you have to get your exhaust blasted first tho?
there is also a coating that can be applied to the inside of an exhaust which helps with heat dissapation, i'll have to do some more research.
