Thanks Guys, a little more touching up today.

I've been looking at the tips of the exhaust for a while thinking I need to touch them up, so jumped on them today.

Before and after pics, both sides done of course.  Used VHT high temp paint with ceramic.

It's all in the details...
Saying goes, "idle hands are the devils workshop".
Maybe time for a new project... what's a winter/garage for...
Kinda............
Start with the end in mind...
