You can sand it a bit just so the paint has a better surface to grab. I used flat black BBQ paint to paint my Greddy Evo2 exhaust. Painted just the can.
Here is a pic.


Exhaust has about 5-8k miles on it now and still looks like the pic.
Paint I used

Very Nice. Figured whats the point of painting the tip, not like the exhaust looks stock. Just didnt care much for the shiny can.

I painted my cobb muffler flat black with VHT high temp spray paint. Didn't sand anything just masked off the tip. I have put about 20,000 miles on it and it still looks great.
