Black exhaust tip
Thinking about having a PC black exhaust tip welded onto my exhaust when it's done. Same style, 3" rolled, slanted. I'm trying to find pictures but can't anywhere. Anybody ever see this on a silver car? Might look sweet.

It's gonna look like you don't have an exhaust tip.

It won't. Dip has a melting point of around 375 F or so. The tip won't get that hot

If you do decide to do plasti dip instead of high heat paint, run the car for a little while to warm up the tip a little.
As for the plasti dip, put it in a bucket with hot/warm water for a few minutes... A good idea I got from a professional dip installer a while back.

You guys ever touch your exhaust tip? No you have not. It's not going to start a fire. Don't go coating a downpipe though.

I actually bought home depot brand of plasti dip for my bowtie emblems today. I might try the exhaust tip too. redcobalt08 looks decent. Aswell as drivetrainsolutions.
