Yes I know being a Geordie i cant resist a bargain so just to let you know i bought four rattle cans at £1 each form the pound shop in gloss black.

Decided to spray my factory black arches and bumper on my mayfair, pain went on stayed on and looks well like gloss black! Laquered it to give it a bit protection from the elements.

Anyway just to let you know IMO the cheap cans seem ok for bumpers and arches! Oh did red oxide prime the bumpers (£1 a can) ut not the arches just rubbed down and sprayed. Only thing I did was make sure me shed was warm as found if it was cold it dried matt!

Cheers

Pics please.

Most paints will be fine as long as the prep work on the surface before hand was good enough.
