1. clean the tips with soap and water
2. dry the tips
3. using fine auto/wet sandpaper, sand the tips
4. dry the tips
5. let the car run for ~10 minutes
6. paint, following the directions on the spray can
Rustoleum high-heat paint, flat (matte) black. I found it at Autozone.

Chromophobia? strikes again! I might do that myself this weekend. I know Anza did it and PTL suggested it. I might as well. If it flakes, I'll just order some new ones. Looks nice.
