I am going to reply right now so that I can find this thread quickly and hopefully add the pics this weekend.  BTW, I used Dupli-color "Cast Iron" Engine paint on the pipes.

I have found that HPC ( http://www.hpcoatings.com/ ) has the best black out there. It is a Semi Gloss black and looks much better than the flat black almost everyone else sells.

My cb750 has the same coating as shown here on my Bomber. The steel pipes are sprayed with molten aluminium to coat and protect and then VHT painted - works great!  :D

These are a little different. VHT on the headers, regular HT (engine paint) on the muffler. Looks great. HT still on after 3 weeks.
