Has anyone seen the 4" into 6" black chrome tips, I had a quick look at the vendors but couldn't find anything.
Have you guys seen the black ceramic coated tip from RBP? Really nice, I don't like the big chrome logo on it, but at close to $200 I think it's a little high!!
ive got the 4 to 5 in from silverline that is like a black chrome. i like it, and get a lot of compliments on it, and, as you said, it beats the price of RBP's. that big ugly chrome logo should be gold for what they charge for that thing!!!
I just painted my tip with some high temp engine paint. The only black tip I was able to locate was the RBP and the price was way too high.
As soon as I posted I realized this would have been an option, I think it's the way to go as I found some 6" tips for $50. How did you prepare it for painting?
Do you have a pic?
For prep I would give them a good sanding and then use some high heat primer. I used a low gloss high heat for 3-4 coats, then a semi gloss high heat for another 3-4 coats.
If you are worried about it, you can always use high temp powder which is good up to 1000*.
I had one powdercoated, but before I got it back I ordered up a different system and gave the coated one to my buddy.......he hasn't complained about it. I know others who have had tips powdered as well w/o issue.
