I would like to paint my exhaust tips black and have been reading up on this.  At this time I don't really want to get into taking exhaust tips off.  Do you think high temp grill paint or engine paint would work?

Sanded with 220 and painted them up. I like the satin black.

High temp paint should work but since they are chrome, you need a primer that works on chrome.

 

Otherwise the paint will peal from the chrome. But you can always repaint as needed.

 

Taking them off is easy. I replaced mine with powder coated ones.

 

Looks so much better black.

 

Good luck with painting.

They aren’t hard to remove. I had my 10 yr old son do most of the work. We used it as a “life skills” class for eLearning [emoji23] either way the black looks better than chrome. Imm no purchased powder coated ones

That 1LE tricked me. Still love the car though. If you're not driving it sideways you're driving it wrong.

With these Goodyear super car 3s it’s tough to get it sideways it drives so nice and is planted to the road even with everything turned off

I've been doing some digging on black exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper. I ran into a dead end on GMPartsDirect. Turns out GM does make some. I found them on a Midnight Edition Silverado Trail Boss. I wasn't able to grab its VIN, so I went to Chevy.com and used the build & price tool. When I clicked on the Midnight Edition package I noticed the truck's exhaust cutouts turned black. I then finished the build and clicked on the button that allows you to search available inventory near the default zip code GM's website input. I was able to find a midnight edition Silverado, and wrote down its VIN number. I then took the VIN number to my local dealer to find the part number. They gave me the part numbers, but told me the parts are on backorder. Nobody near to the dealer's search area has them. I then jumped on to GMPartsDirect on my cell phone and searched the part numbers. They are below. The result revealed these are for the Carbon Pro Edition GMC Sierra. I checked the compatibility for the Silverado, but GMPD said they aren't compatible. I get it. Go look for these without a part number and no VIN and all GM sources say these don't exist. IIRC, the price for the black exhaust cutouts are about $10 more each than the chrome ones on GMPD. I want these for my Northsky Blue Trail Boss, so I'll dig a bit further into this to find out how long the backorder is. I'm trying to eliminate all chrome from the exterior of my truck. Hopefully this helps somebody out.

I haven't looked further into this yet. I moved across the country. When I posted that I was living near Virginia Beach, VA. I'm now in San Diego, CA, and drove the new truck the entire way. Just got the keys to my house on Friday, and my furniture arrives Monday. It's been a crazy time for me. I'm sorry. Hopefully I can get back to this soon. I want to eliminate all the chrome on my truck badly, but this cross country move was something I needed to get through before I could finish my truck.

Found these on eBay. https://ebay.com/usr/partsfynder. Just bought the matte black set. Says I should receive them by Sept. 30th

Yeah I saw those too, I got a guy who would PC them for me for $60 bucks. Just looks like a PITA to remove them and really don’t want to snap any plastic on a brand new truck. 
 

I might dip mine first and see how that goes. Plus not sure what color I want to go with yet as my bumper is black and truck is the Satin Steel....

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
