I tried this and followed the same steps. Just cleaned with alcohol. Didn’t use a degreaser or primer and didn’t scuff. I had a hard time seeing how well it was covering and used too much paint. It looks fine until you get close. You can see sone globs and streaks close up but the gloss black hides it well enough. If I were to do it again I would use a light first coat and then a light second coat if necessary I’m fine with it as it was $30, not $500 for tips and bumper removal for install
You could probably sand it down and redo the last coat to even it out.
OP: I have a C2 as well. I liked the parallelogram exhaust tips and how they matched the lines of the bumper, especially the black plastic. But I saw that design exhaust tips on so many commuter cars I decided to install sport exhaust tips from Suncoast and I couldn't be happier with how much better they look. It looks more sports car and less commuter car in my opinion. Just a suggestion for your consideration.
Take 2 is looking better. I’m not sure how perfect i can make it using a brush. A spray would have come out much better. Sanded a little and did 3 thin coats with a bristled brush The foam brush I used the first time didn’t make it easy to get even coats in a tight area. It’s not perfect but a big improvement.

So much better. Thank you for not leaving it like it was.
