Satin Black Paint for Ally
perksy - 18/9/09 at 08:30 PM

Thinking of painting some of the Aluminium in the interior Satin Black
(Floor/Tunnel sides)

What would be the best paint to use ?

Ideally it needs to be applied by Brush

Need something that will stick to the Ally and not chip off too easy

Advice appreciated

best using an etch primer prior to painting with satin,. I have painted my zetec cam cover with some high temp paint that is satin. did not need etch priming left a good finish was about £6.00 a can

I'd recommend Upol #8 followed by Plasticote black satin....

Works for me, has a finish somewhat like powdercoat.

I used Chassis black straight on to the ally, been on for 4 years now, cleaned the ally with thinners first.
