Hey guys, HAPPY NEW YEARS, well anyways I know I was it somewhere but I couldn't find it.. How do you get that color at the end of your exhaust? It's like heat-treated I think.. or something.. Well anywho how do you do that?

Well you could fabricate an exhaust in metal, chrome it and heat it up with various heat sources :p
Other than that the usual way is by spraying clear blue, orange and other colours over a silver base.
There is a tips page on the Tamiya site that demonstrates the technique on a motorbike exhaust. Can't find it at the moment.

Its called a Titanium tip, the best way would get some titanium look, if they make it that small of a pipe, and just polish it until it gets the finish you want, that is how the real exhausts are made. :p

SchuberT has got a good idea, i gotta try that out and see the results.. :iceslolan Or you can also brush paint it on with a little bit of clear orange inside and clear blue on the outside.
