paint exhaust tips?

Silverrider · November 11th, 2011, 08:20 AM

My tips are all scratched up? Think I can sand them down a little primer and paint? High temp paint... can only see a couple inches of the tip on the S197s... want to go black, have black chrome wheels ... let me know what you guys think?

Go for it. I believe they make high temp primer as well, so use that. Black exhaust tips look great with other black accents on stangs. One of the V6 S197 owners painted his exhaust tips black a few months ago and they turned out great. I planned on painting the exhaust tips on my old V6 black.

I've wanted matte black exhaust tips since I saw them on the new lambo, but haven't taken the plunge yet
