I don't understand....why would you paint the cme fascia black if your car is silver? but if you're talking about the exhaust tips being painted black I'd say no b/c if you darken the tips up it'll just look like there isn't anything there from behind the car. That's the whole point of slp adding the lips to these tips. If you want to see what I'm talking about look at the non slp cme tips floating around without the lips.

i just mean the tips, not the valance...a few people have said to paint the tips black...the valance is going to get blended eventally and its staying silver

Dont bother painting them black, if you want them black just don't wash then for 2 month and they will be black
I have also seen a guy chrome his and they are a lot easier to keep clean that way.

Is the whole tip painted silver now? If so some sanding stages, then polishing would be required to get the shine back to the lip...and you have to wipe the black **** off frequently to make it easy on yourself

I replaced my tips years ago and when I did I tried to keep then as clean as possible. You will have to wipe them down after every trip you make. They get really hot and if you don't do this the dirt will bake on to your tips making it harder to clean. Chrome tips are more forgiving I would go that route.
