painting the matt black bits :)

[Enceladus]

was getting fed up with the black plastic bits on my bike not matching the rest of the gloss black bike, so i broke out the aerosol cans and had a go.
not a proffesional job, but looks better than the matt black ones.
primer, 3 coats of black gloss, 4 coats of clear gloss top coat.
thoughts ?

Not bad, you can get good results with jst a can. Sand now with a wet 2000grit. Then buff up with a paint cutter. That'll get rid of the orange peel in the 3rd picture

not bad, not sure if i would go as far as painting but back to black bumper spray makes it look shiney for a good couple of weeks for me, do rightly, but good job

That is similar stuff to the engine brightener spray that i used which caused havoc when trying to respray the engine, they're both silicone based which react with paint in a bad way!  :groan

that was initially my plan.
paint, sand, repeat.
life just got in the way as per usual!  :rolleyes
will sand them all down and do a proper job when more time allows.

I like the silicone shine, dead easy to use and easy to top the shine up
