I like blacked out mufflers to.. less bling factor. Here's a couple of pics of my Flowmaster Delta Series 60(Yes I said Flowmaster, made for imports, sounds just right for me) with added chrome tip:

If it were me, I'd just paint the canister and leave the tip chrome.. then later if you dont like it black the whole thing out.

dunno.. probly a few different grits... i havent gotten down there and examined it much yet...
my guess is somethin like.. i dunno.. 200-300 or so to get the rust off then 400-600 to give it a smooth finnish that will match my intake...
