Blacked out exhaust tip question. Is this correct?

[AlbertaRam]

Hi all, checked a few threads and can’t seem to find the answer. Can anyone tell me if the black exhaust tip package I paid for on my new truck are black, or just black paint over chrome? I specifically asked for the black package when I bought the Truck in April and I noticed this yesterday when washing it. For some reason I thought it was black ceramic not paint.

They don't do double work. It's a metal tip that is (i think) dipped in black paint...
They don't chrome plating it and then painting black.

Pretty sure it's just black paint. Doubt it's painted chrome. Other aftermarket black tips are black powder coat. Even carbon fiber tips were available for 4th gens.

What's black ceramic?

It is black "chrome" and not paint. I looked over mine very closely when I removed them.

You do NOT want powder coat...you want CERAMIC. Powder coating has a far lower temperature rating where ceramic will easily handle the heat of the exhaust. I bought ceramic coated tips for my 2021

Mine look and feel like black chrome, not paint.

Is your exhaust system and undercarriage really that clean on a 2019 Ram, or are those photos of when your sled was new? If your Ram is that clean today, what is your secret? Please don't tell me elbow grease. I do not have that much elbow grease left in this old beat up body. Please tell me you found some special mix of chemicals that you spray under there and rinse it off to keep your Ram that clean.

He's married to a 24 year old and that keeps him "young" and in shape.....

Yep. My truck still looks like this today and sorry to brake this to you, but yeah, elbow grease on every wash.

So, I need to trade in the current wife for a new trophy model and that will keep me young? Notwithstanding I am happy for you knowing you have a trophy wife, like Toby Keith said, "I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was." Therefore, I do not think I could keep her beyond one night, so I will remain content to have a little dirt under my hood and the current model.

Yup, my mistake. Black ceramic. For some reason I was thinking these were powder coated...

If you don’t clean it, it’ll eventually black itself out
