I got my exhaust aluminized in the early 70's. It's aluminum spray metal process. It comes out snow white. It lasts for a long time and normal dirt doesn't seem to affect it. I have had it redone once since the first time. The second time around they didn't do as good a job and it hasn't held up as well but it still looks fairly good. The only maintentance is to wash it with soap and water. The only real problem I had was someone putting their foot on the side pipes and the sole was burned into the material. I could not get it off and it left a sole print. It's a very rough surface and if you try to sand it it then looks like aluminum, so you can't sand it.

Have fun, Ray
