Question: How to paint/color stock exhaust tip on E90 328i??

balgopi · 05-09-2011, 12:08 PM

Hello. Instead of buying a chromed exhaust tip for my E90, I wanted to know if I can paint/color/etc. my car's exhaust tip to a black?

My car is black so I wanted to keep up with the black theme. I figure if I do not like it, I can go ahead an purchase some steel tips.

Also, how would I go about doing this? Any DIY guides out there,etc?

One would assume you could just sand it a bit and then paint it with high temp engine paint..

Did you get to paint them black? Im thinking of getting black tips but im wondering how just painting them would look?

In the first post, he talks about how he painted his exhaust pipes. I might try that on mine, just for kicks.

I had a set powdercoated through Gavin@MMW. This of course means that the colors are a little more limited, but I liked the color that came out.
