Anyone have an advice for touching up the tips on the borla exhaust. I’ll post a pic to show exactly where the paint is coming off.

How old is your exhaust? Borla has a 1 year warranty on the black finish.

They are about 3 years.

Im contemplating standblasting it out and spraying them with cerakote or something. Not sure how well it will hold up though

This isn't the black finish, correct @dragon434? Looks like the other option

These are the black chrome infact, gotta give it a wash tomorrow. It kinda rapidly deteriorated the past few months. I did do alot of driving this winter, might be from all the salt that was sprayed on the road.

this is when I first installed them

Got it, thank you. I'll have no issues in NC!
