paint on back of seats
What is the best sort of paint for the back of fibreglass seats? I have got MAC#1 seats that have a plain fibreglass mat finish on the back,
but I want a plain black look.
I was thinking of hammerite, paint then a coat of spray.... any other ideas?
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Look for flocoat/flowcoat. It is a laminating top coat used to cover GRP work. It dries to give a smooth non sticky finish.

I used black board paint from Wilkinsons, as the recommendation of other builders.

I wouldn't paint GRP with hammerite/smoothrite without talking to someone who's done it, I have my doubts it would stick properly being
designed for rusty metal and I've no idea how compatible the solvents are (hate to melt the seat).
Flowcoat (as ^^^) is the proper stuff to use and easy enough to get.
p.s. I'd be interested in how it turns out as I have the same seats but was thinking of just leaving them matt effect

Boot polish, the liquid stuff with a sponge applicator.

I used gloss black enamel on the inside of my bodytub. No problems with it so far. Easy to keep the mud off etc.
"just like that !"

Another vote for flow coat - it is designed for the job, covering the naked matting and giving it a smooth, slightly waxy finish.

Halfords matt black, got way better coverage than the smoothrite.
Maybe the can was running a little low ?

spray on hammerite smooth in satin black works a treat.
