    Black exhaust pipes?

    I'm going to get my wheels painted a slightly gloss black - to match the black trim on my Candy White rocco.



    Wondered if there was a cheap/easy way to make the exhaust pipes similar in colour??

    This 'pot belly black' product may work?

    You should get a nice matte carbon black colour by simply not washing them..

    Have a chat to Ben or Chris at Tarmac Engineering as they have been able to source black exhaust tips. Another option is Greg from Carformance, he has the new 42 Draft designs exhaust tips here: New 42DD tip finishes

    Exhaust paint? Ive painted tips black before and had no problems with durability, as long as you clean it up and bake it properly
