Next I have to paint those silver exhaust tips (they look like horns) black. I have been researching this for months. Nobody makes accessory exhaust tips, they're welded on. So it appears the best way to achieve this (believe it or not) is to use Rustoleum BBQ paint and primer, and to prep and spray the tips while on the car, you just have to carefully mask and prep. I've seen some great results, and the paint is engineered to withstand temps 2-3x hotter than the exhaust pipes ever get. You actually use the heat from the car's own engine to cure the paint after you finish spraying. I think I'll get my bodyshop up to speed with the videos, etc. I've found on the web and pay them to do this.
