Exhaust tips colour change possible?
« on: February 14, 2013, 04:14:58 pm »
I have seen a few cars with metallic blue exhaust tips a few GTR's for example and quite like the look of it, Is this possible to do as a DIY job or is it done in a different way?
Here is a example

Here is one option,

I believe it is all to do with having titanium tips, as it turns blue one it is exposed to extreme heat, (see JonnyC's MK2 TT exhaust)

I have the r32 style tips atm from blue flame, I don't want to really change my exhaust system for it, just wondering if there's any high temp metallic effect spray available for exhausts

shouldnt imagine so mate... the effect is achieved by heating the metal so it would be very hard to replicate cosmeticly.

Blue tips are because they are Titanium.
