Love the color you chose.

I did mine with black plasti-dip and followed up with glossifier to avoid the matte look. Yours looks better.

Love the exhaust tips!

Is it just paint over metal or was there more steps to it?

they removed the exhaust tips and taped over the mesh i dont think, they did anything els besides the taping of the mesh Its black pain that is able to take the heat from the exhaust .instead of it matching the trim. Over all its held up extremely well so far and im glad i went with the black and not the dark gray.
