SR71BLACKBIRDXX Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Anyone do something like this? Just put a new exhaust on my truck, and it came with polished SS tips. It looks out of place on a truck with zero chrome on it. I've seen people scuff it up with scotch bright, but the thought of doing that to a $800 exhaust makes me cringe. Any other ideas?

The Krypt Keeper Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Grey scotchbright pad abd go with grain of stainless. Other ways are using a media blast with fine glass or even a chemical acid wash.. I suggest a scotch bright pad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Paint is easily removed if you don't like it. What I think would be cool would be a black chrome kinda finish. In my theory if you mixed a small amount of black, or other color, into clear you could basically tint the SS instead of fully covering it. Another thought would be to color match it to the wheels. Keep in mind that it'll probably need to be hight heat paint. Another thought would be to chop the pipe and not have the tips sticking out.

SR71BLACKBIRDXX Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 I'd love to color match the rims, but the tips are welded on. Since the old exhaust is a dumpster somewhere, I'd have to make it a quick project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Paint it rainbow colors since side exit exhaust looks very GAY - especially since that is a shit box truck compared to the very cool Lightning you had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkxx Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) It doesn't look bad to me. A few winters with salt will dull it up for you. Edited June 10, 2017 by blackhawkxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
