Default Matte Black....

Been thinking about it for awhile and saw a few threads on it before... Finally did it...

Painted my exhaust matte black.... Came out good and looks good, actually a bit more subtle then I thought it would be...

The exhaust, Invidia N1 V3...

How it looked before I started...


After prepping, used Die Grinder with Scuff pad...




Hanging to be painted...



All sprayed up....





Back on the car...




What it use to look like...



Thanks for viewing!

I like the stealth look of the exhaust! I think the exhaust sticks out at tad bit too much from the bumper.

Thanks for the feed back.

Yeah hi temp paint, let it dry over night then installed and drove the car for about 2hrs... Vtec and all... You could smell the paint burning in then it stopped after the first hour or so...

Seems like it will hold up, if it doesn't well I can just touch it up, but I might send it for powder coat with my rims this winter....

Dope. I love it. Hopefully it will hold up (the paint).

Wow, that really does look nice. It would be better if they didn't stick out so far though.
