Hard Wearing Paint

Powder coat for the heat shield.

Try using clear resin on the CF.

 

Add a pigment to the resin

 

You will not get the thickness or coverage with spraying using cans. For metal have them powder coated as the thickness of powder coating can withstand the most wear.

If you want to spray over carbonfibre then the best and cheapest way is to vinyl wrap them and when it wears just lay over a new piece.

If you want to paint the part it needs to have a good primer and basecoat followed by a decent top coat of lacquer if it needs to be a lacquered finish.

 

Paint it black and then use flat lacquer, easy to rub down, smooth and recoat.

 

Fantastic but not much help to Creamy

Not got much carbon & hiding what you have got, what's wrong with you man :Wideyed: , that heatcover's not correct for those cans so a good excuse to get a nice swoopy carbon jobbie then strip that bloody paint off your heelguards & get em lacquered

 

You've probably got a mix of cans & link pipe so it's a bit odd, the original style guard is the one you're using which has 2 fixings on the link pipes, the cans you've got have the fixings for the Corse style guard.
They look like this



There are at least 2 different lengths/styles and there are 2 different fixings either 75mm or 130mm apart
with these there are no fixings on the link pipes

 

Just looks a bit odd with the fixings on the cans, trouble is the fixings on the link pipes might get in the way of the Corse style one, so should be one or the other but not both

 

It's only cosmetic/protective so nought to worry about though

 

Yes as the other is not a matt lacquer but the standard gloss type. Another and probably cheaper option would be to wrap them in matt black vinyl, it would only cost a few quid for a small sheet.

It won't chip and if it gets damaged it can easily be replaced.
