Default Can you Powder Coat Exhaust Tips??

Im getting my dual exhaust on friday and wondering if you can powder coat stanless steel exhaust tips black. My whole truck is black and I think this would make it look sick. Having 2 black tips coming out the back of the rear tires out the side. I dont want to paint them I want to see if you can powder coat them. Thanks.

I aint positive on this but I don't see why not. Maybe somebody else with experience on powder coating will chime in.

yes you can, but paint is easier and cheaper!! Some high heat paint will hold up fine. BUT if P/C is what you want then go for it!!

Ya I would think p/c would hold up better then painting it. I have a shop that does p/c real cheap and does a really good job so... But thanks for telling me i can lol. I think it is going to look good with black tips on a black ram, what do you guys think. Any one have pics of black tips on rams. Would love to see.thanks

I personally like the shiny accents, so the wheels will stay, and might have a black tool box replacing bed rails. but I like to break up the black a little with the shiny stuff.

And it is a level with 35's 3"body lift coming soon....
