So, I was pretty sick and tired of looking at my exhaust tips and how blemished and dull they were, I couldnt buff them or polish them out to look good. So, I took them off, sanded them off with some 175 Grit sandpaper, and sprayed them with Gloss BlackRustoleum Pro grade Enamle(4 coats worth). I think they look pretty bitchin' but I dont always have the best taste. let me know what you think.

Paint job is great! Maybe I am too used to seeing RPI and other exhausts tips, but the stock ones look so tiny to me now, lol.
