Anyone got any tips or ideas on what to do for getting a nice flat black exhaust tips on my Magnaflow SIDO system? They came polished stainless steel, but the chrome look doesn't really fit into my F-150's blackout style.

I've heard that engine block spray works well, maybe something like this? http://www.net4sale.com/Shop/pc/view...?idproduct=129

Any tips on prepping or steps to actually paint the tips? Thanks in advance for the info.

 

My crome tip is the only crome on the truck , think I will sand down and just spray with a engine Hi Temp paint

 

I'm seeing triple. I'm only on my first beer too. This thread and these two.

Have a nice day.

 

Keep it here, as I am more likely to read this here. I am interested in your findings.

 

i have a blacked out f150 also and had the same problem with the chrome tips. i used 300 grit sandpaper to scuff the chrome then used hi temp matte black spray paint, let it dry, sand it, paint it, sand it, paint it. it has held up very nicely and blends in with the look i am going for.

 

Do you have pics you could post??

 

ill get some up this weekend

 

If you want an all black tip, rbp makes them, and adapters too!

i did the same to my tip except i used a adhesion promoter as a primer before painted it black. worked out great, looks good

 

usa bbq grill high temp black paint, just a little scotchbrite/steelwool (fine) pripr to painting and it'l last for years

 

Does anybody have any good pictures of a painted tip?

You could always Anodize the tips .

 

rough scuffing, primer, couple layers of hi-temp engine paint, and a couple clear coats and you got black tips.

 

Mine aren't tips, just the pipes turned out and angle cut then painted with heat resistant paint. I didn't want the chrome look either.

 

give me a minute. i will go take a pic
