    OEM Black Exhaust Question

    Was lucky enough to find a set of black exhaust pipes for my 2013 Black F6B,
    now all I need are the set of front covers/protectors in black.
    See parts #10 and #24 in the screenshot below.
    Just want to make sure I don't order a set in chrome.
    Has anyone actually ordered a set? if so, let me know what part number(s) you ordered.

    Here's what I found online for part numbers.....
    2013 F6B
    Honda PROTECTOR, R. RR. Part # 18317-MCA-A20 \ should be chrome
    Honda PROTECTOR, L. RR. Part # 18417-MCA-A20 /

    2016 F6B
    Honda PROTECTOR, R. RR. Part # 18317-MJK-G40 \ could be black

    Might be less expensive having your chrome ones powder coating. Just a thought!

    Thought about that, not sure about the prep for powder coating?
    Does the chrome need to be removed, acid bathed, or just scuffed up a bit?

    They usually bead blast parts to be powder coated, they know how to deal with the chrome

    Most powder coaters won't touch chrome. It has to be removed first. It's an extremely caustic process (has nide in it) and requires the right equipment, licensing, etc., and costs big bucks.

    I think a high speed wire wheel on a bench type grinder would make short work of any chrome. At least get it to the point where powder coating would easily stick.

    One of the larger powder coating businesses in my area claimed it was not necessary to prep chrome for painting, other than a good cleaning, of course . In spite of that advice, I used a 3M scuff pad but you could hardly tell it scratched the surface much at all. The high temp flat black paint that I used has held up very well. If I ever do get a scratch, I can easily re-spray over it.
