In ‘power per litre of displacement’ terms, the motorcycle engine is only equalled by engines used in F1, CART and some other racing categories; logically, there is no better application for performance coatings. And with so much of a motorcycle visible to the eye, they’re crying out for cosmetic improvement; HPC coatings are again perfect for the occasion.

Exhaust coatings provide a bike with a custom look that doesn't go away just because it’s ridden. The polished aluminium finish will not turn blue or gold like chrome and stainless, rather it maintains its polished billet aluminium look; which is why HPC's HiPerCoat™ has become the finish of choice by many customisers. It matches billet grips, forward controls, forks, risers, and many other billet bits. Then there are the performance benefits provided by HiPerCoat™ (as explained below). HiPerCoat™ is also available in custom colours including popular semi-gloss black.

Much more durable then enamel paints, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is especially suited to components that see less then 315° C. For example; engine cases and barrels, suspension components, frames, and any other metal parts. HiPerColor™ is incredibly chemical and impact resistant, is not effected by most common chemicals including brake fluid, and is available in many colours.

 

HPC offers a variety of engine coatings for improved horsepower and the promotion of longer engine life. HPC's piston coatings are especially suited to motorcycle engines. This two-step process provides a Thermal Barrier Coating to the piston’s combustion face and a lubritic dry film coating on the skirt. Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) help maintain combustion temperatures and prevent heat soak to the rings, which could otherwise result in lost compression and excessive oil consumption. HPC's S01 coating on the skirt greatly reduces friction and prevents scuffing and galling of the cylinders. Oil temperature can be dropped as much as 20° F with these processes.
