How quickly does bronzing occur?

Chip,

I always meant to ask: How do the Jet Hot people coat the flanges without creating shadows or areas of poor coverage on the header tubes?

Great question, I don't know. The flanges were wired against the lips at the end of the pipe when I picked it up and the ends were plugged with big rubber stoppers to prevent the coating from getting inside and ruining the catalytic converter. The whole thing looked amazing when I got it back and after I polished it for about 10 minutes with Cape Cod metal polish it looked even better. Since I installed it I haven't touched the pipe other that washing the whole bike once in a while and the header stays shiny chrome. Much better.
