Went from this dull, boring and lifeless look

Sorry it was dark and I wasn't sure if I could really catch the pattern with the flash, but I'll take more pictures today. I removed the old akrapovic sticker (yellow and red and round) and I bought a new one (new logo, red white and rectangular) to update the look of it. No sticker as of today, so hopefully monday.

All this took was some light sanding with a fine grit sanding pad we had laying around and some clear coat I had in the garage

My dad had a foam sanding block laying around, I don't know what grit it is. Its finer than 100, but certainly not as fine as wet sand paper (like 1000+)
