Factory pipe coatings?

[Exciter570]

Does anyone know what Yamaha coats the exhaust pipes with on their sleds? I just bought a new GYT twin pipe kit for my 600 max and am curious as to what it is coated with, powder coat or just a high temp exhaust paint?

I'm not sure about the new stuff but through 2002 it was high temp paint probably baked. The way to reproduce it is sand it good with 400 grit wet, preheat it with a torch to about 120 degrees and the spray the new high temp on the heated area. Do it in sections so you don't cool down to much
