My Ceramic Exhaust Tips
I wanted to post some pics of my newly coated black exhaust tips. I wanted to make sure to get it ceramic coated. The tips were polished stainless and then painted by the previous owner using crappy BBQ paint that started to flake off.
I got them done by Joe at Prodigy Coatings http://www.prodigycoatings.com
The price was great and black ceramic coating is much better than painting them.

...just a plug for the low budget option. I have a non-S '05 with the single, sort of rectangular tips. I cleaned/sanded/high temp primed/high temp flat black painted them about 3 years and 40K miles ago and they are still like new! Autozone sourced stuff, about $25. Granted they are way easier to paint and avoid runs than the dual outlet look but I've gotten amazing durability out of a really easy and inexpensive alternative. BTW, done in the garage in about an hour, most of that time being the wait for the coats of paint to dry.

He has been doing it for over 8 years with great results, no cracking. It is a special process. When applied correctly, the coating has great thermal shock and thermal expansion properties as well as temp ratings elevating to 2,000 deg F. The stuff he uses is used by two major well known turbo manufacturers and many other parts on a daily basis and have great credibility in the powder and ceramics application field. Thats why it needs to be done correctly.
