What r u going to use for paint and what do u mean by scuffing? The ARB's seem to be so difficult to scuff in the first place

I have some puff cans maid up with my paint code so i can paint odds and ends. im going it sand blast the red off the paint i think they may be powder coated i have'nt had time to mess with them. you can still use 200-320 grit sand paper you just want to give the paint something to bite to.

What did you do to keep the ARB logo the silver? just tape it off and cut around with a razor blade?
