Melted Powdercoat on Exhaust Tips??
So I am looking at purchasing a used Gintani Exhaust and the tips look to be powdercoated, which I know does not hold up to extreme temperatures.
My questions are:

I wonder if it was just spray painted with high-temp black paint.

It might be plasti-dip? Looks like it from the texture. You never know till you have it. You can get new tips off ebay and weld them on for cheap at an exhaust shop.
I'd skip the hassle. Gintani exhaust drones. :/

Ha, Aircraft Remover. That stuff is amazing, but definitely wear gloves and use it outside...the fumes will seriously fuck you up.

I've used paint stripper bare handed to refurbish up some old wood work and it would itch when it got on my hand for a prolonged time. Aircraft remover, my whole arm was itching just brushing it onto the exhaust tips.
