Default blacking out exhaust tips?

ive got a lot of black parts on my truck and ive seen it on few cars but never a truck before. Ive heard you can use duplicolor low gloss w/ ceramic coating to get the job done. just wondering if anyone has done it? any pics? i just cant stand when my tips look all dirty and crappy, i wanna black em out.

what do you guys think

I have some black tips. They started out as regular tips that I sanded down and painted.
