paint

Post by cobbler2u »

I have dropped the rear sub frame on my special to change the bushes.
So have decided to clean it all up and paint.
What's the best paint to use

Cheers

Gloss enamel, although powder coating isn't expensive.

I'd also go with powdercoating, black is a common colour so would be pretty cheap. Hard wearing too
