Wrong kind of black
Can someone recommend a black paint that will closest match the colour of a standard MK wishbone?
I had my lowers all shot blasted and tested some black metal semi gloss from Aldi on them - but the finish is almost too glossy.
I guess they are powder coated originally from MK and this gives a much more subtle gloss finish..
any ideas?
Just let them get dirty perhaps..

give the paint a rub of 240grit 'sandpaper' should dull it down quite well

Well I was going to try Plasticote, however i called them to make an enquiry and they advised against it for this type of application.
I might key it with some 240 paper, then apply some rattle can satin black. Should be pretty well protected by the end of it!

I used Wilko's satin black spray paint on my Mk, it was a perfect match to the Mk powder coat.
