Looks like a painted MAC exhaust.  Does it have a title?

           ok im done now, thanks for listening..........continue
Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

PLASTIC BLAST MEDIA.   ;D
Visit your local sand blasting shop for details, and ask about plastic media blasting.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
