they can powdercoat black chrome...it comes out looking the same as real black chrome painting, except its not plated...it wont pit and wont be destroyed by the michigan road salt

this is powdercoated black chrome


theres a place in ohio that does the powdercoating, they use a special kind of paint but i cant remember what its called...its used on that wheel...if you call them im sure you could arrange to ship the tips to them and have them do it and ship them back...they do awesome work, i had them do my truck wheels...lmk if you want info....it would be cheaper to buy cheap tips, send them here, and have them done than it would be to order those $80 tips off ebay

^ didn't think to check eBay. Nice find. May have to compare those to the powdercoating option.... Thanks 99 number 2, haha.

that wheel looks awesome. wow. i will definitely look more into powdercoating options. Thanks a ton man! Do you know the MF members username by chance? or if you find that place in ohio? ill do some searching for it too.
