I was giving my car a wash I noticed the interior of my exhaust tips are peeling and exposing the stainless? underneath. Any one have the part numbers for the tips or can recommend an aftermarket replacement tips?

Thanks

Yes, it is unfortunately common for our cars with night package: https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...f-exhaust.html
My 2017 (yes so pre-facelift with night package with different exhaust tips) suffered the same and even has rust and I always hand wash mine and don't use harsh chemicals.
Instead of spending money on new exhaust tips with possibly the same defect, I recommend trying what this forum member (of the same thread linked above) by using lacquer thinner and removing it altogether : https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...ml#post7977603

In an alternative to the above (or to buying new tips), you can mask off the exterior of the tips, lightly use steel wool over the peeling bits, drop cloth the back of the car and hit the interior of the tips with black high temp spray paint.

No need for a replacement. Contact detailing garage and they will fix it for you.

Came out just fine, and continues to be after many miles.

Looks good and I am not surprised what you did is more durable than the paint the factory night package tips used. My 2017's night package tips actually rusted even but replaced under warranty, warranty has expired but thankfully it didn't rust again.

What paint was used on this?

Any high temp or BBQ paint will work.
