Exhaust tip paint issue. Already replaced once but came back again!

I don’t know how yours with night package look like but my exhaust tips start to chip off paint again. Dealership replaced them for me under warranty 6 months ago and now the issue came back again. I’ve been looking around in the forum and it seems like a common issue for 2019+ c43 and e/cls53 AMGs with night package option. Some Bimmers’ exhaust tips had similar problems too. Is there any way to prevent it from getting worse? I’m thinking about contacting my dealer again.

Check out this thread. I went the paint removal route and actually like the look better than the factory black.

Apologize for the dirt (or salt). Been -20 degrees celsius here for a week in a row, salt and brine everywhere can never keep it clean. Once it warms up a bit I will need to hand wash and probably wax it too. As you can see from the picture it is even rusting.
