Okay, that's what I wanted to hear. An rustoleum is the brand I was using as well. Just couldn't think about it off the top of my head. If anybody has any advice on the grits I'd appreciate it. I can't picture it bein that big of a deal but you never know. I have some 40 grit and 180 laying around.
If there is no corrosion or they are new take the 180 to it and make sure you sand all the shinny of so the original color is dull. The 180 should also be light enough that you'll avoid sanding scratches. The make sure you clean the part of all dust very well and paint it up
Edit: if its old and is a hard metal component knock it with the 40 first but don't press to hard and work it around to avoid deep scratches that the 180 can't take out. Then smooth it out a bit with the 180 and clean it up then paint it.

I haven't found anybody talking about this, and I didn't really wanna read over 800 pages of questions on here haha, but have any of you tried the $70 chip that's supposed to increase MPG by 4-7 & add 60 horsepower? I don't want to spend $70 without knowing it will work
