XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted June 24, 2014 The paint on my bullbar is fading and i want some tips on re-painting it. By law the paint must be black (light reflection reasons) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 1,085 Posted June 24, 2014 Rattle can satin. It only has to be non-gloss black where you can see it from the drivers seat. Which is fuckin ridiculous because you can actually have it highly polished if it's not painted. 3 XTREME KARTS XF, steve mcqueen and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ando81 2,949 Posted June 28, 2014 I have often wondered how well vht paint would work on bull bars. A bloke told me ages ago that spray can black goes to shit on anything metal that is out in the sun because the metal retains heat and basically cooks the paint. So.......... Surely hi temp paint would have to last longer, just a thought. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hermitage1965 1 Posted June 29, 2014 Mine was owned by a little old man who never drove at night. First thing I did was clean it and apply matt black from super cheap auto. I repaint every 2 years. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VDO 124 Posted June 29, 2014 I once had this problem. I got the pinstriping bloke to apply wide heavy grade flat black vinyl to the inside face of the bar. Never faded, never peeled and looked great. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
