Chrome Exhaust Tips

Anyone knows how to paint my performance exhaust?

I would like a satin black, rather than chrome.

If you're talking about just the tips, take a look at getting them powder coated with a ceramic black finish.

I was getting really annoyed with the stock silver tips being a PITA to clean so I got the ceramic powder coating - not only do they 'fit' better with with the overall look of the car but they're also a damn sight easier to clean!

The ceramic coating can withstand any temps your car can throw at it and it has a nice satin finish. I'd send pics if I wasn't in the middle of moving to Chicago and my car wasn't back in MN

Great. That sounds like exactly what I want.


I'll look into it.

Here you go - the move has been taking up way too much time; also should apologize for the iPhone pics....

I think I paid about $120 to have them done - the heat resistant ceramic finish is spendy...
