Black Exhaust Tips...
I am tired of cleaning the tips. It's become a fool's errand at this point. Contemplating having the tips painted black by a shop or just do it myself.
For those of you who have black exhaust tips. Could you post photos?

Pure Experience Round Tip
Experimented over the weekend using a matte black vht spray can. I used 4 light coats. Much easier since you can just pull out the exhaust tip cover versus removing the entire rear valance or rear bumper for m sport version.

the shop i use for paint said they are concerned about orange peel and not having a smooth finish if the exhaust is not removed and paint applied properly. any issues with flaking, wrinkles or orange peel?

Just use the VHT high heat paint. It is very easy to paint. The only issue would be uneven thickness when you are painting it without removing the bumper.

Probably with painters tape.. at least that's what I would use with newspaper stuffed into the hole.

I pulled the rear bumper off, and masked off the inside of the tip and then vice versa. Did it over a weekend.
