As many of you know I like do things a little differently. I'll be going with a custom exhaust down the line and I'm thinking of doing an OEM emblemless grill in copper, wheel barrels in copper and for the rear, muffler tips.

If I get muffler tips coppered, would change colors or would it retain it's proper finish?

 

Lol.

Thanks for the response. I think I might go ahead and try it out.

 

copper ftmfw... id like to see how this turns out :P

 

all i know is around my way the crack heads would cut that shit off in a second and bring it to the scrap yard.

 

They wouldn't get much for it since it's not pure copper, it's just copper plated. I'm only getting tips done anyway but this probably won't be till I get my custom bumper done since I won't have muffler(s) after the midpipe.

 

Copper tarnishes (called 'patina'). Might have to hit it with a cleaning polish like Permalac frequently unless you have it garaged. A lacquer finish is best for durability and can be stripped easily to refinish.

 

what color is your car....I think this is an awesome idea and can't wait to see what it looks like.

 

I like this idea Levon, definitely different. I wonder if you could do some copper in the engine bay too.

 

Thanks for the info Christian.

MJ, color of my car is IP. Down the line when I do my engine bay I plan to do the majority of the polished parts you see people doing in copper. Some parts will remain polished to give it a subtle two tone.

 

That sounds awesome! Especially with the IP. Post pics!

 

Nice man sounds good !

 

Interesting.. I would try it!! Its a different look..

 

try it. ive thought about it before. you can go with a whole iron man color theme lol

 

Haha copper and red..
