Anyone painted their exhaust tips?
I was thinking of painting the exhaust to a flat black color since I am lazy when it comes to cleaning them. Does anyone have a good recommendation for exhaust paint that will last and look good?

Was thinking of doing the same, partly for the same reason. Haven't looked too much into it yet, but having painted other metal objects I like VHT paint which is meant for engines, exhaust, brakes - hot metal stuff.
Recently did my brakes and basically just used a stainless steel brush and brake cleaner over and over until minimal dirt came off after whipping with a white towel/rag, then hit them with VHT primer/paint/clear. For polished stainless I imagine there'd be more effort involved such as sanding with a fairly coarse sand paper. In my experiences painting things (metal, plastic), at the end of the day, as long as the surface is clean, oil/grease-free and rough the paint will stick.
