Default Exhaust tips

Has anyone on a new c7 had their exhaust tips coated black or can't it be done?

Did mine in Plasit dip... love the look ...love the ease of application...however over a couple weeks the black does fade, probably due to the heat... will do them in carbon flash and see if that last longer....love the black look

Look up Dupli-color's Shadow black. I was looking to see if this coating is durable on exhaust tips but will need to ask Dupli-color direct.

Love the black tips. I know this was the expensive route, but the car needed an exhaust anyway.
