Powder Coating: Exhaust Tips and Wheels!

[DavidRam]

Just got my exhaust tips powder coated textured, flat black. The color is called Black Texture by Bestway Powder.

Powder coated wheel pics, starting on page 7... Red center caps with black ram head.

EDIT: FINAL PICTURES ON PAGE 16.

Those look great. The wheels will look perfect with them.

Thanks man! The wheels will be the same black, with red center caps (ram head on center cap painted black) and red brake calipers.

If someone else is wondering about pricing on powder coating:
Exhaust tips = $80 both
Wheels = $100 each (that includes remounting tire and balancing)

Looks great! Are those bigger tips? They look like they fill in the bumper slots better

Those look great! I'm really thinking I might split my exahust to mimic a 1500 dual setup.

Thanks. Kinda funny, my local powder coat shop is pretty busy, and to do all four wheels at the same time, they would need to keep my truck for a few days. During which it would sit on jack stands, in an area right next to Compton, CA.
I said "Hell no!"

So I decide to do them one at a time, and use my spare during the process. Every couple days, I will take the shop a silver wheel and pick up a black wheel. Lol!

Powder coating plastic center caps?

Powder coating plastic center caps?

Did I say that?? I think they would melt at 400 degrees! (Oops, you are right, I edited it) Lol!

I meant paint them red, and the ram head black.

Tips look sweet can't wait to see the wheels.

Man that looks great. Think I'll do the same. Do you have a part # for the 5"tips?

Thanks bro! I am not sure how to get them as a bolt-on tip. They came with my MF 16869 exhaust and are part of about 2' of pipe.

The pic below is about 2/3 of the pipe. 2nd pic is the temporary pipe I put on to redirect the heat away from the wheel well liner, while the exhaust was off for powder coating.

Note: the color is called Black Texture. I took alot of time and looked at many shades of black until I chose this one. It's flat, but the texture gives it a slight shimer in the sun. It is also a very dark black (if that makes any sense). The plasti-dip black is little bit of a faded black, this is as black as your paint color.
