Spraying BMW Performance Exhaust Tips Black?

[Stealth135i]

Hey guys im planning on buying the performance exhaust from BMW once i get my car. Do you think its possible to get the tips Sprayed(or powdercoated or anything) black as i really like the stock color tips and i want my car to be all blacked out.

Would i have to cut the tips off to get it done or could i just get it done before i install the muffler to the car???...

Thanks for the help guys....

make sure you sand it down good and use engine paint.

You could electroplate black chrome onto the SS. But that might be a bit expensive...

You could also try plasti-cote as a test, don't sand them just clean them and spray, if you don't like the look it, peel it off.

Scuff lightly, clean with dawn dish soap and spray with black BBQ paint. Works every time!

Not to worry, the tips will be black from all the oil it's burning, so you won't have to do anything. Probably the reason BMW had them darkened in the first place.

Buy the Dinan Free Flow Exhaust with the black tips. Before or after installation you can spray 1200 degree flat black paint on the silver parts to make it entirely black. The Dinan exhausts are wider and look the best!

Don't use BBQ paint, it's a glossy black just like the barbeque grill it was intended for. Use a heat-resistant FLAT black paint... resistant to 1200 degrees, sold at any auto parts store.

high temp powder coat or ceramic coat will work, just take it to powdercoating specialist

You can just use ur old tips.

and if they stick out to far, just cut the performance tips.

did it too, awesome look!

That's weird. Every BBQ paint I've ever used on exhausts and BBQ's was a matte/satin finish. Maybe different brands have a different finish.

I just placed an order for a 2011 135. I'm getting the performance exhaust. After the order, I inquired about taking the black tips from stock exhaust, and fitting them to the performance setup. They said that, while it's an unusual request, they could do it. I'm mostly ignorant of exhausts... is my idea a bad/impractical one?

[Jori]

I would not paint them. Might be not durable at all
