  • Best paint for a satin black finish on some currently polished aliminium mudguards to be used in all weathers?

    BBQ paint, Plasticote, some kind of Hammerite, Amourall etc or other? Only really looking for rattle can, not going to the lengths of powder coating etc.

    Hammerite's black smooth metal spray is utter shite. It's like piss, barely sticks to raw metal (directions say it's to be used on bare metal, no primer), runs, takes ages to dry and flakes off. Expensive to boot. I'm now going to spray regular Halford's black primer over the top, hoping to have the corrosion protection of Hammerite and the look/finish of the regular car paint. Should have powercoated and probably will at some point down the line when this paint gets too battered to bear.
