when i eventually get some quad tips, i'll have to look into that. i really liked the black chrome and it's very durable.

all kidding aside, i think it's more durable. all the other chrome parts on vehicles (bumper, wheels, etc) hold up really well.

"newbie"I wasn't sure I would like the black tips on my 996. So I removed the tips, cleaned thoroughly with laquer thinner... I sprayed the tips with 1200 degree BBQ grill paint.(dries to the touch 1hr)(7days to completely leaches out chemicals) If you don't like it, you can remove it easily with laquer thinner.
I love the way it looks. I will see how it holds up with the paint. It is very
easy to touch up if needed. I also purchased a turbo oem logo on Ebay
for around $30 and painted it with Krylon semi flat black spray paint.
I have debadged numerous cars and used the krylon paint...it looks great
and holds up on the rear of the car. This is a very easy and economical way
to test out the black for anyone's taste.

Let us know how the paint holds up on the exhaust cans.

it would have been easier to just paint them without the removal step?
