I covered them with Rejex, but they rusted within a month, I would like to freshen them up with black paint. I do not want to install replacement tips. I would use a high temp ceramic paint (I really like the 500 degree Duplicolor Caliper Paint), but I am not sure that the metal gets hot enough to “cook” it correctly.

Alternatively, I also like Krylon Fusion all in one paint and primer for general stuff, the Satin Black is gorgeous, but I am pretty sure that it is not nearly durable enough for an exhaust part that will get some gravel strikes….. I would like to be able to touch it up if needed.

Krylon Fusion

My wife’s RDX has factory black chrome tips that look like new after four years, mine looked like crap after just a few months. Comments are welcome, thanks!

I used 3 coats of VHT engine flat black and 3 coats of VHT satin clear, previously recommended with great results. Your option, tape everything off or loosen the 1st clamp and remove from the truck. Just follow the instructions on the can.

I did a couple coats of VHF high temp and clear coat. Looked great but then one day of off-roading and they need to be redone they look like they were sand blasted.
