Head & cylinder after beadblast?

[fishx65]

Just had the head & cylinder on the old 87 Warrior beadblasted. Looks silly new! Should I paint with high temp clear, clear powdercoat or just leave them alone and keep clean? How long will it look good if I just keep it clean?

The 87 had black powdercoat from the factory. Do the later models have a clear powdercoat or are they just raw aluminum?

My 2001 was still black. I think 2002-2004's had a clearcoated aluminum finish.

Can't figure out how to put a pic on here.

Think it would look like crap in a few years if I just left it raw? I always keep my machines really clean.

Raw aluminum wouldn't look good very long. It would definitely corrode, especially with the conditions a quad gets put through.
