I wish I wasn't all the way across the country! I may consider finding someone on this coast to do that for me.
Oh and I have to say that is a nice line up in your drive way. What year is the Ferrari? It looks really nice.

hey, does powdercoating hold up to those temps?
i did mine with the 1200 degree high temp paint and the inside of the tips started to flake.
didnt spend that much time on the prep but was thinkin of powdercoating next time around

They look great on a black car - I have them on my silver 996 and prefer the black look to chrome

Looks awesome! was thinking about the same thing... but need to find someone who can do it in Houston. I assume it will cost more than a 12-pack of Bud.

its really not that expensive, i had my wheels done for 40 bucks each.
the tips should be less than that...
i thought the high temp spray would hold up better though since there is ceramic in there...

I do my own powdercoating of small items. I have had no luck with powdercoating exhaust items. it looks great for a bit then flakes off. I prepare the parts by bead blasting and a good cleaning before the powder is sprayed and they are put in the oven. Hope you have better luck. They look great.

Had mine powder coated black (twice). They have started to turn white again due to the high heat. I run headers, exhaust and 200 cell cats which I believe produces more heat than stock. I plan on having them redone ceramic coated this winter.
