Chrome plating will just discolour again, this ceramic coatings guaranteed to not change colour apparently.
The original is not chrome plated.
Chrome will discolour to some lovely blues, but it won't look like that brown mess that appears on the non chromed pipes.
The Ceramic coating from Camcoat looks like Polished Aluminium according to their website, The samples they showed me backed up their website claim. Hopefully they'll look good, if not? I'll give them a coat of Dulux Midnight Blue gloss

You won't be riding the RT until April!
You are REALLY missing out on some of the best RT motorcycling season. Often the roads are dry. The traffic is less, The visibility through hedge lines is better because the foliage has gone. The list goes on. It is a superb time of year to ride. The superb fairing, heated grips and seat make this bike designed for this time of year.

I don't have headers long enough to warrant ceramic coating, on my third set already curtesy of Mr BMW and the stuck exhaust flap. 2014 bike, 18k miles
David, As you know I'm also a fan of ACF50. In fact, I bought another quart today for £25.
I rode mine all year round, but all my bikes are testimant to the fact that it stops corrosion.
Out of interest, what does AYB charge? I wonder what he does that I don't do myself, which is spray it through a parrafin gun, twice a year and then rub over exposed parts with a cloth occasionally.
