I'm seeing more and more motorcycle parts getting cerakoted, and I must say that it looks very smart when new.
I'm just wondering how it stands up long term, when exposed to the elements, or to the minor damage that occurs to all motorcycles used on a daily basis.
I believe that anything that has a tendency to corrode will do eventually, steel and cast iron will rust, aluminium and its alloys turn tp a white powder unless maintained.
So will the constant expansion and contraction of an exhaust system allow cracks to form in the cerakote ?
How about alloy castings ?
Will they eventually corrode in the same deep pitting way they do when chromed ?
I'm sort of tempted by Cerakote but I don't want to get involved with something that's going to become a curse later on
