JCW Tailpipe tip cover

I noticed that my JCW Tailpipe tip covers (aka exhaust tips) that the chrome finish is beginning to tarnish/chip off. The parts (#3 below) are 51129813169 and 51129813170 seem pricey at $157 list for each! Has anyone tried to paint these? I will ask next time at the dealership if these are covered under the warranty.

I would think warranty would cover. If not my exhaust guy does nice tips for $80 a pair.

Check withe warranty first, otherwise if you are looking for a change in color or finish, you could use some high heat paint.

I was at the dealer for service and asked about my exhaust tips. Under warranty they ordered a pair.

Note the chrome is coming off (the two spots). This is occurring on both.
