What is the best gloss paint, for wishbones, rollbar's?
I would like a decent finish on the rollbar, and all four wishbones, and have tried various types of rattle can spray paints, that seem to look good
for a while, but then degrade, loose the shine , peel etc etc
ive tried the following
hammerite = shite, cracks peels, and is awfull
Halfrauds black gloss rattle cans, seem to lack any paint !!
What i am looking for is more down the enamel/hard wearing type, but still a rattle can
So, what do you guys think is the best ??
Regards
Steve

I like the plasticote range, seems pretty good and give a similar look to powder.

Have you tried putting clear coat over it afterwards?

Use a gloss roller to apply a good single pack high build primer, wet flat with 600g, brush paint with Japlac with a VERY good quality brush - you
will never use a rattle can again.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

i've always used crappy halfords paints.
I tend to use the satin black over primer as it gives an easy even finish, and once lacquered has a good shine. Has lasted pretty well on the
components i've painted over the years....

Rustoleum metal paint (from Leyland trade paint places) applied with roller or decent brush in a warm workshop on to primed metal.

This is said to be very tough when dry. I will try it for my next project.

Plasti-cote
Steve, another vote for Plasticote, used it on several kits over the years, gives a really gloss finish and it hearwearing, it covers really well also
and you can re-coat in approx 15 mins.
My sons currently rebuilding his MK and I have just painted his wishbones/rollbar etc in Gloss Black and they look superb.
Wilkinsons sell it, approx £5.00 for a large aerosol in loads of different colours,
cheers,
Chris

Hi
Used HYCOTE Gloss black double acrylic on a set of wheels for racing. results where very good and are still in very good condition now after two
seasons of racing.
Comes in 150ml shake n rattle cans. Although for wishbones my preference would be satin / matt finish.
Cheers Matt
