Metal Preparation

[Josh Foster]

I don't have any garage-based chemistry to add, but I would start with
scuffing the muffler up; and you might want to check on a high-temp primer
to really let the ceramic paint adhere to the body.  My Magnaflow is
extremely smooth (it is polished), so I could see the paint coming off
easily without proper prep.

I have a new, shiny Magnaflow muffler for my G20.....I want to paint the
body of the muffler with the paint to subdue it and let the shiny tip stand
out.

I was thinking that a 2" ScotchBrite or medium-fine sanding disk on an
air-powered drill would do a pretty good job of scuffing the stainless
steel....
