So, I plasti-dipped the bezel surround and all the Lexus emblems yesterday and finally late last night, I did the tips. This was about a 30 minute jobber, but looks great imo. I was concerned with too much heat being there, but I drove the car all day today in 104 degree weather and they still look perfect. I have no mufflers either and the straight pipe points at the lower oval on the tips. Worse case scenario, I can always take it off and redo them if need be, but so far, so good!

Noticed you're from OK! I'm in the Tulsa area. I just did it for the fact that it's so simple and if it gets too hot, I can just peel it off. If it lasts for for several months, I'll just keep redoing it. At $6 a can, I could do them 10 times!

What color would flat black not look good on?

Meanstreak

Mine is Smoky Granite Mica. Not that it won't look good, but just won't have the contrast which makes it work IMO.

Yeah I think gloss might look better with that color, but at $6 and 30 minutes, you might give it a shot. I just didn't like the chrome, but at the same time, I hate doing anything permanent.

madastep

might have to check that out, where do you normally buy that at? just a home depot type item?

Yeah, Home Depot and Lowes has it.

Looks good. I would also be worried about the heat the exhaust tips take.

There's also a clear glossifier version of Plasti Dip that you spray on cured Plasti Dip. Could go that route so you don't have to have it in matte black.
