Default Paintin' Flows

OK. Finally got my Flowmasters and I'm gonna paint 'em with BBQ paint. the Flows I got appear to be primed from the factory-does anyone know if I hit them with a scuff pad and wipe 'em down with alcohol willl be good? P.S. NOT CHROME OR OTHER TIPPED. Any tips? Thank you as always. :cheers: What's up with this SNOW?? Jersey! :steering:

Painting them before they are on the car is much easier (ask me how I know that). A scuff pad and alcohol will do the trick. Either use the BBQ paint or any high temp spray paint will work.

PS. You'll like the Flows.

I have had my flow's on the Vette since 2 mos. after purchase (inst. Nov 89)
Repainted 'em a few times... Best to remove rr y pipe and muffs as you can paint them easier that way :thumbs:
