MadManMike Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ello chappies!I'm guessing a halfords can for a car will do, I just want to check really. I've just dug out my DMR Wingbars as I want some rise. They have some surface rust and scratches and need a little tidy up.What's the best black paint to use? Hammerite?

Endohopper Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Not sure about most suitable paint , but most handlebars flex when in use ( however slightly ) , and this could cause cracks in whatever paint you use . I'm quite curious about how this turns out though , so good luck with it , and keep us updated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I just used Halfords spray paint. Worked fine for my bars. The paint didn't crack or anything. Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 NOT Hammerite. I used that on my Zoo bars and it just scratched off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
