Very nice! The chambers do look smart silver rather than black. I am warming to the idea of doing the barrels black... is there any reason why you did that?

I think it looks better on my particular bike. I've got a lot of silver/polished aluminum on my bike and I wanted something to break it up a bit.

Well it is coming along. I have had the heads and barrels coated with high temp ceramic and they have come up looking very nice indeed. They even ceramic coated the inlet and exhaust ports for me with a special coating that improves (supposedly) airflow and will resist any carbon buildup in the exhaust ports.

The case I have done so far using POR15 etch primer and will use a POR silver engine paint. I am very pleased with the results so far!
