Powder-Coated Black/Blue Tips

As some of you know, the theme for my car so far has been the black/blue combination. I am thinking about powder-coating my exhaust black with the end of the tips being blue. I plan on either shaving the emblems or powder coating them black or blue for the meantime. What do you guys think? Just to reiterate, I am not powder-coating the whole tip blue, just the outer rim.

Also, can anyone photoshop some pictures with the pictures from my last photoshoot? : https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/new-rims-fogs-waxed-125839/

VOTE OR DIE! hahahaha

you can powder coat the can black, and leave the tip TI, most exhausts with TI tips have bolt on tips anyways

it has holes.

idk about the exhaust stuff, but the black emblems will go REALLY good with the blue/black scheme. i know for sure because i just love my black emblems with my yellow/black scheme.

Titanium tip would look great. Thats what im going for as well when I do plan on gettin an exhaust. (ive said it before and ill say it again, our cars are too similar lol) Personally i dont think powercoating it black would look good. Maybe im picturing it differently from u though?

I would think a blue exhaust would contrast better with the black plastic that surrounds them.
