Best Black Exhaust Tip??

Best Black Exhaust Tip??
I just was able to install a Flowmaster Super 40 on my 2017 5.0, the shop I went to was great. However, they did not carry black tips, they claimed that the finish would only last a year. I'm eventually wanting to de-chrome everything on my truck. I went with the chrome tips because that was all they had and I'm really wishing I just left them off and went with a black bolt on after the fact. So much so that I will probably go that route later. Is there any suggestions on good black tips that anyone may have, how long have you had them? How are they holding up?
Sorry about the crappy picture it was the only thing I had at the moment.

We offer a few Black Ceramic Coated Exhaust tips with a number of size and style options. I have included a link below to all of our exhaust tip offerings. All of the black exhaust tip options are clamp on style so all that you need is the exhaust pipe size and then give us a call. I will recommend that you look for an exhaust tip that is at least 10.00" or longer because a shorter exhaust tip will not be properly proportioned to the size of the truck and may look odd. Additional questions? Please feel free to PM me or call our Customer Support Team at 707-544-4761.

This is the flat black high heat paint i used on my Jeep's aftermarket chrome tip and also the muffler and cat which protruded a little below the rocker line.
Rated at 2000 deg. F
Been a couple years and held up great so far.

I was going to say - scuff sand them - and put a quality high temp paint on there. People often forget the scuff sand part which is why they have adhesion problems.
call it 2 hours and say 8 bucks. when/if it comes off - recoat it. Pocket moneys or use moneys on hookers and blow.
OH and cut those flush to your bumper - or I would.

Absolutely scuff.
If painting a chrome tip, scuff until it no longer shines with a dull finish.
But before the scuffing part here's what i did with the chrome tip, muffler and cat mentioned above;
-i wire brushed off any rust, road tar, dirt or other debris on the muffler & cat,
-thoroughly cleaned the parts including the tip with acetone,
-then scuffed all three parts with 220 grit sand paper,
-then final cleaned them all with acetone,
-then painted.
