based on the ones I have, I can tell that dust and salt goes into the pores and turns paint into grey colour with sandy notes 1 solid winter and you need to do it again :) if you live in dry climate this will probably last 2 years I use hight temperature clear coat and flame it with butane torch - the only thing it helps is that paint does not peel off
Did you use high temp? If not and you want paint to stick to chrome you would use a self etching primer! And if you're making a how to, explain what you used and why lol. You made a look I did it, just do this lol
Did you use a special high heat gloss or the tips are cool enogh that standard clear coat are just fine? Would a possible option is just to use high gloss heat paint.
Trooper427SS actually painting anthing that deals with heat aka exhast, intake ect. Dissipates heat a lot quicker with black paint. But mainly if you use, ceramic or wrinkle coat
you sand between coats when you are doing a more serious paint job where you want to be sure there are not going to be any imperfections. With small things like this you don't need to worry as much
Did the end result look like it needed to be sanded between coats? Sanding is done to eliminate orange peel and to get a perfectly shiney gloss look which is not needed here

Would’ve been nice if you told us what primer, paint and clear coat you used.
@SAM IAM how long to do a rush job if you only have 4 to 5 hours? I can use a hair dryer between coats.
Looked like VHT High Heat primer, at least.... Not sure about the black or the clear.
Awesome video and love the final product!
How long will this hold up I wanted to do gloss black.
Hi, Is it okay to paint the inside of the tip?

Didn’t really tell us chet..

How well does that seem to hold up to on road use over time?

What grit sandpaper did you use? And would rubbing alcohal work well instead of paint thinner?
Curry4Life
320 grit
You didn’t even explain what paint was needed ?
Do you need to sandpaper if the exhaust is brand new?
Yeah, the chrome is too smooth. Just gotta sand it to rough it up a bit for the primer to adhere to.
And is the other still is still being done?

Most paint will handle 220 degrees Fahrenheit ...
He did not use GLOSS paint....you can see it is a dull matte finish
wat about painting the whole thing ?
If you add clear coat would it make them gloss black?
TheMidnightNarwhal there is a gloss black paint spray. why would you clear coat to gloss it?
There is a satin clear for the matt paint.
Mine took me ten seconds 😊
You said it adds performance. How?
Trooper427SS The same way that stickers add horespower
"Sense" of performance... it adds no performance.

Why aren't you sanding between coats?!

Painting your tips does not increase performance🙄
