Well I want to fix the front and rear bar brackets as they are looking rather daggy. what do you guys and gals suggest?

1. Repaint of powdercoat black or blue
2. Have the brackets chrome plated?







or am I able to purchase new chrome brackets somewhere?

Hi Paul

all You need to do is rub them back slightly with fine wet and dry paper [wet] then wipe clean without touching with Your fingers, then paint with a spray can enamel undercoat..
a few light coats..
then after half a day in the sun curing if it needs it, more wet & dry rubbing to get the finish super smooth
then a few light coats with satin black enamel..

taking time to make sure the edges and top and bottom have a few coats...

they will come up looking like new..

I added all the step by step info for anyone who hasn't painted with spray cans before...
making sure the cans are rattled for at least 2 minutes....
before spraying... It Does make a difference..
and keep shaking in between spraying....

cheers

PS: chromed ones do also look great... one of the locals has his chromed....

Rub them, Undercoat them, then paint them gloss black or dark grey Hammer Tone paint. Or the ultimate Powder Coat.

Hi

I do all of my stuff like that in White Knight Squirts enamel, I never use under coat and it turns out great. This stuff lasts, I use Satin Black on, bumper brackets, engine tinware, wiper arms etc, it looks factory.

Pay a lot attention to very top edge on the bracket, its always pitted from exposure.

I gave mine a good scrub with a wire brush to get rid of any loose or flaking paint, then brushed on some 'chassis black' paint straight out of the tin. They look fine.

Thanks for your suggestions think I will go for a saturn black powder coat
