to those who painted your stock Y-pipe - how did you prep it?
i'm thinking of sanding it down then using a high-temp primer?

I just used some 400grit paper to get the crap off of it (dirt/oil/etc), then I cleaned it with
some alcohol to get it nice and clean. I primered mine gray to go with my med. charcoal(that's the name of the paint), then cleared it with a high temp engine clearcoat. Look in pic poster to see result.
