Exhaust tips

[Roger200]

Would it be easy to change the chrome exhaust tips on my 200 to black?
buy or remove and spray?

Dont see why not dude. Make sure you prep them well and prime them with the correct primer too. Usually you will find there are different primers available...for plastic, metal, colours etc.

Cheers, wasn't sure cos they're chrome what they'll turn out like.
Anyone know of any comopanies that do black ones? If not then will just spray them.
Also, are they easy to take off?

Etch them up nicely with some wire wool so that the paint has something to grab hold of before you do anything.

But, like Dan said, shouldn't have any problems if you use the correct paint. Caliper paint mght be a good idea due to the heat?

 

[Curley]

See if a wheel place will powdercoat them?

 

[Roger200]

Good idea on the caliper paint! Would of thought it'd have enough heat resistance.
Will try and find a comany near me that does powder coating, should be pretty cheap.
Cheers :clap:

I think you can get manifold paint now, or maybe even try BBQ paint but not sure what the finish would be like.

Or, I think Bic said streamline carbon would be making some carbon ones soon

Carbon ones would be nice but if someone fancys making me some in titannium i'd be happy to pay handsomly for them...

Ooooooo, carbon ones! i like the sound of that
