Default black exhaust tip update...

i posted many months ago asking what would be the best way to get my exhaust tips black. some one i thought posted CARBON, and i didnt take him serious. finally i gave in and havent cleaned them for 4000 miles and am loving the results.

point:
if you want black exhaust tips dont clean 'em carbon is the way to go!!!

Default ya but as good as powder coating is

everything at the back of the car is going to get hit with turbulent air with little rocks in it, and my question is so im supposed to take off my exhaust and take it to a powder coating shop? then my car is down for what ever schedule the shop is using.

Default thanks, no issues thus far...

bbq paint with high temp clear made for engine parts. heat cured before the tips were installed. had them on probably about 8 months.

Default buy some tips. get them PC'd and have them installed at exhaust shop.

it's a little amibitious, but if you really want the look and want it done right...
