One thing I noticed is that the black stacks run alot cooler then the chrome ones i had did. With the black stacks i can touch em right after driving and they're barely warm.

I have black tip on my truck and even after a long run it doesn't get too hot to touch. I would go with a higher temp paint just to be on the safe side though.
