Ceramic coating exhaust tips

Can anyone recommend a good shop to ceramic coat my exhaust tips?

Performance coatings in Auburn, WA. Cross country but they do good work.

Fd Motorsports did mine. Darin Fister is awesome and they came out great. I think it came to $70 or so with shipping to get mine done in flat black ceramic.

I think flat chrome would look but good, but be hard to keep clean. I'd go with flat black.

if you want flat black, you can't beat grill (or manifold) paint for the price and turnaround - about $10 and done in hours. scuff it with low grit sandpaper and spray a few coats after each dry. mine have been through rain, heat and about 10 track days and still going strong. sure it's a little ghetto but unless you're in concours comp, it works and it's cheap. for ceramic coat you're probably looking at $150-$300 depending on how much a shop wants to rape you for, and it will look almost the same.

That looks awesome Raider. My car is silver as well. SpiffyJiff, I did mine last year. I really took my time to clean, scuff, primer, and paint, but it still chipped like crazy. My car is my daily driver, and I think it was all the salt this winter that did me in. With all the time I've taken on it and all the supplies, I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather just pay the $ to have it done and never have to worry about it again.

If your looking at ceramic coating it should be around $60 to $75 bucks or your getting ripped off!

Where do you get ceramic coating done?$150 to $300 is totally not in line for the rear tips!
