Why would you want to do that?

Ceramic paint, not coating

I think OP means something like Cerakote (which is a brand of ceramic paint)

Oh wow, that sounds cool. I have a barbell that is cerakoated. I would be interested to see the end result on some tips.

Funny you mention Embee - I was going to mention them before but wasn't sure if you would be interested to OC area. I just called them last week myself as well for a quote. Looking forward to seeing the finish product.

Well boys and girls finally got them installed, almost lost my shit trying to find the right sized piece of wood to get the stock tips off. I highly recommend EMBEE in Santa Ana for ceramic painting these with cerakoate n baked! Look awesome in person. I think they'll ad 20hp or something...🤪

That looks great!!! Glad to hear it worked out for you and thanks for sharing the pics. I will definitely get mine done too.

Yes it was worth it, great finish. Might spray paint the silver part of the inner stock tips black to blend in, to make it not so noticeable. Or way till I drive a bit and they’ll be black from the exhaust soot.
