Hi, just a notice for any others who’ve had this happen. From I’ve had the car last November, I’ve noticed the paint around the inner lower edge of the exhaust tips have corroded.
I was looking for a solution and bought this paint pen and tried it and it looks to have took the nasty look away. Its heat resistant and permanent apparently, so I will update this if it comes off with the daily driving and weekly washing.
Here are the before and after pics and pen details from amazon.

That’s pretty impressive if it stays looking good. I’ve never seen a paint that can stick to an oily surface. Fingers crossed.
 
2 weeks of driving in performance mode, 2 washes and lots of crap weather, no signs of the paint peeling/lifting off.
