hi all

I hand sanded and spray painted the polished exhaust insert matte black and plastidipped the red reflectors gloss black. Now the trim piece paint is chipping. Not surprised since I am in New England snow and salt. Thinking of wrapping it 3m. Has anyone done that? Or should I spend the $$ and get it baked (powder coated)?

When I tried to get my inserts wrapped in chrome vinyl, every shop refused to even try this, they were convinced that exhaust heat will kill it very soon.
So I ended up powder coating them

Yeah. That was my exact concern. How is the powder coating holding up? Thanks Sandro.

It hasn't seen the outside world yet Its on my turbo Z, I hope it will be on the road till the end of January
But it should hold well, same powder coat from same shop on my wheels held two salty winters perfectly
