Before choosing Zircotec Stein had looked at options such as high temperature exhaust paint,
both aerosol and brush-on, and had also considerred high temperature
powder coating. He was concerned that these products would not be able
to withstand the high temperatures on his exhaust. Stein wanted
something that would retain its appearance in use and at the same time
provide a thermal barrier that would shield the rider from contact with
the hot exhaust. He had read about Zircotec's coatings on the internet
and had seen that others had recommended Zircotec's products. As a
result, he decided to give Zircotec a try.
After viewing samples of our Performance ColoursTM range, Thomas decided on Zircotec's CopperTM finish. When Thomas received the
coated exhaust from Zircotec he was absolutely delighted. Once the
exhaust was fitted, the coating complimented his bike perfectly. He also
noted the very significant reduction in exhaust temperature whilst
riding his bike. When we finally saw pictures of the finished bike and
looked at the routing of his exhaust close to the riders legs we could
see exactly his concern about heat!
Stein went on to enter his bike in the Oslo Open Classic Bike Competition (2009) and was awarded 1st place.
