i like i like...

i was wondering how would a black exhaust tip thing looks like....thanks!! :)

spinejaruk · 07-29-2007, 09:11 PM

looks good

- what sort of paint did you use? won't the high heat from the exhaust would kill the paint off very quickly?

nqd · 07-29-2007, 09:31 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys.... for the exhaust i used the "high heat 500 + degrees" paint thats used for engines.

redyaris · 07-29-2007, 09:53 PM

Looks good NQD.

nice, I gotta do the same... were your license plate frames like that, or did you paint them too?

It does look good, but dont get angry when it starts to flake off the exhaust, youll probably have to keep repainting it every couple months or so.

hasher22 · 07-30-2007, 04:15 AM

dont think that his exhaust is gonna flake from the paint he used...

though if it does start flakin i suggest u powder coat it...its only a small item so it will be VERY cheap.....

once i get my replacement chrome handles im gonna powder coat them gloss white and the guy said to me it will only cost me $10-15AUD to get them done!! cheap as....

It won't. Read my reply above. All mine look as good as the day I did them...

Black Yaris · 07-30-2007, 09:23 AM

I was debating on doing my exhaust black as well, then I decided I need to have a wee bit of chrome...... exhaust tips and front and rear badges

eTiMaGo · 07-30-2007, 09:28 AM

well a bit of contrast is always good, for sure!

nqd · 07-30-2007, 10:03 AM

haha that exact opposite of me....im trying to get rid of all the chrome...all i have is the headlights left...

well that is what I was going to do in the first place..... I did black out the Toyota badges, then I got the Netz badges.... so I wanted to show them off

and now that my exhaust is nice and tucked under my car the few specks of chrome are nice when she is all shined up
