Default Exhaust Blackout

Okay so I'm blacking out my '02 Camaro, the only part of my car you will see at night is the silver rims, and the custom tags. I'm tinting the taillights, side-markers, third brake light, rear window, driver and passenger windows, headlights, and possibly the windshield. Hopefully soon I'm going to be buying and installing a MagnaFlow Cat-Back, but I really don't want the chrome look. Is there a type of paint that I can use to black out the exhaust as well? I'd prefer to darken the chrome tips and the muffler, so they can't be seen when behind the car.

Black high heat paint. Paint what you want, then install the exhaust. That's the only thing I can think of.

Never thought of that! Thanks Timmy, I'll have to try that.

Regardless your going to want to scuff them up for the paint to stick.

Yea sometimes its a complete pain in the *** to drive wth a 5% hatch and 35% side Windows. It would be near impossible to drive with the windshield blacked out.
