Post black tips

I am thinking about making a change to my chrome exhaust tips due to not being able to keep them clean. I am looking into getting them powder coated black but want to see if any of yal have close of pictures of yalls done.

Thanks,

J

It isn't that much money at all.

My dealer quoted me 40 for a pair and he said they will last awhile.
I know there are acouple guys that have it done.

Why not just give them a good sanding and spray with high temp?

Check out mblouirs albums. In the "Evolution" one hes has them 45ed behind each tire then in "Newest Pics" he switched to straight out the back.

I think he said the paint didn't hold up too good when they were behind the tire so he switch them out the back.

Also KR-Texas did a write up on his.
