Spraying parts.
Going to spray the chain adjusters and brake mount on the thou.
I want the finished product to be black but not glossy. Question is what primer and paint would anyone recommend? Ta |
Re: Spraying parts.
Chassis Black epoxy paint, sprayed from slightly too far away, gives a nice satin finish- if you spray a proper wet top coat it's glossy but if it air dries a little it takes the shine off.

Re: Spraying parts.
you know of anywhere online that sells it?

Re: Spraying parts.
I probably got mine from Frosts I think...

Re: Spraying parts.
That's it. No doubt there are loads of other paints that will do just as well, I think Halfords do a satin black wheel paint which would probably do the job... I tend to stick with what I know though. It might take you a couple of tries to get a good result, since basically what you're doing here is deliberately spraying badly :D

Re: Spraying parts.
is it worth using a primer and a clear coat afterwards?
as you may of guessed this is my first attempt at spraying |
Re: Spraying parts.
I never have, with that stuff, I think it'd need a primer for aluminium but it sticks well to steel in my experience, if the surface is clean. Clear coat would probably make it glossy.
Hey, VHT do both a matt and satin epoxy black spray can- that'd make more sense than doing it my way really. |
Re: Spraying parts.
Good stuff that!!!

Re: Spraying parts.
Just did my pillion peg hangars, just used a few coats of el-cheapo satin black, holts I think it was.
This is after adjusting the RHS one with an angle grinder to make it work with the high level can.:p Looks alright, can't see it taking long to rub through though where it touches boots. |
