Here are pics of my DIY flat black tips.
Instructions:
Remove rear sections of exhaust.
Clean with soap and water.
Wet sand ( I used 800 grit) all shiny surfaces that are getting paint.
Clean again with soap and water.
Let dry.
Tape off areas not getting paint.
Paint.
I used High Temp BBQ Grill paint I purchased from Auto Zone.
I did 3 coats, but could have been done with 2.
Make sure proper drying time between coats.
I let it bake in the sun for a good while.
The exhausts have been painted for 3 months now. NO chips, NO scratches, NO fading.
I have had the car reach speeds of over 120 MPH
I recommend this as an alternative option to Burnt tips or if you do not like the chrome, as was the case with mine. I was trying to rid the car of any chrome whatsoever.
The images are hard to see, since the rear diffuser and bumper have been wrapped.
