Coating on Valves??? 1MZ

Would it be bad if I cleaned off my valves with some sand paper? soaking them did jack ****, so I started to clean em off with a light sanding. Then, while looking around the internet, i read somewhere that they put a black coating on the valves.... anyone have any information???
