any prep work needed? I roughed my o2 housing up a bit, but i think i may do it a bit more. roughly how many coats did you use on your o2? is it still looking good?

i went over my o2, manifold, and ic piping with fine sand paper and then sprayed it on, all over them had about 4 coats, my o2 housing is still fine but the manifold ate it right off idk why
