Painting muffler end caps ?

I was thinking the silver end caps ( at each end of the muffler ) emphasise the rather large size of the stock muffler.
I wonder if anyone has tried painting the silver end caps a satin black similar to the main body of the muffler - if so could you post a photo ?

Regards

Max.

Something like this?

I saw that and liked the look, I guess they unbolt from the exhaust and using heat resistant paint should do it.

How about a flame red colour to go with the best black version?

Yes, they simply unbolt and slide off.

Actually I think that might look good if you can get the same shade of Green.

Blackis black, satin or Matt.

Ask and ye shall receive ! Thanks for the pic Lonewolf - an even better pic than anticipated with a stock muffler to compare with.

It looks good to me and you could always go back to silver if you wanted to - I think I'll put this on the to do list.
