The vents look great, imho. The painted tailpipe... not so much.

I'd painted it before... but the paint didn't stick... so I'd end up sanding down the pipe leaving it looking like ****************. Again I used engine paint... prepped... warmed the pipe... put on about 4 coats in between letting each coat dry. After the final coat heated up the pipe nicely... looked great.

Keyword: Looked. I did the finger test... running it on the underside of the tip... my finger emerging black. Quickly the gloss faded and is almost powdered. Where I run my finger... the paint comes with it. So... I'll go out today and remove the paint exposing the "brushed" stainless "look".

That said... next mod will be a chan-exhaust.
