Hi guys, I'm doing DIY paint of my F82 exhaust tips. I took the tips out and try to scuff. But not sure it is okay to paint. The right one is scuffed. I don't have sander. And only work with 220 sandpaper. Am I not working so hard to rub it?

Are you using vht paint? I did this once on a motorcycle exhaust and it turned out good. Sand it down as good as possible, use vht primer, black (if that's your color), and clear...follow the steps on the cans (as far as baking by running the car at temperature, etc). I didn't have a sander, just sanded the shit out of it w sandpaper

Take them to a local powder coater. They will more than likely charge less than you will spend on paint. That way you'll have a hard durable paint job.
