Folks, I'm about to paint the barrels on my Interceptor silver. What paint do you recommend? I don't mean where to buy it, the Internet is stuffed with choice, I mean have you had good or bad experiences with particular types? Things to consider: brush or spray, durability of finish from heat and solvent etc. Price isn't really the issue, after all I don't want to do it twice! Thanks and REgards, Mark

Hello MARK M ------ I use this}------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------which gives this }-------- and this}-------------

--------------- that's applied by a 1" brush and left overnight in the airing cupboard... What you see there has been "in service" for about 9 months now.....

You've really got the hang of those pictures now Alan!

------------ERR, NOT QUITE !!!!!!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

Oi, you ugly lot, pack it in! Thanks for the suggestions guys, I (we) don't paint barrels that often and paint formulations seem to get less "fit for purpose" every month, a bit like Policemen getting younger... I've had good results with the Car Plan stuff in black in the past, thanks for reminding me about it Alan! REgards, Mark

alan how did you get your bike in the airing cupboard ?was it on the back wheel!!
