Exhaust bracket Color

Post by Coyote »

Were the exhaust brackets on the GT series gloss, semi-gloss or flat black? Mine are stripped and ready to paint
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

I believe they were semi-gloss. I rebelled and had them done in wipe-clean gloss :-)

Semi gloss or gloss. Not flat or high gloss.

Thanks! I wonder why they weren't chrome.

May, I suggest POR-15 Top Coat gloss black. You'll be able to completely paint or touch up a ton of items with a small 8 ounce can and a sponge brush. With the sponge brush and being gentle with the amount you apply to the brush. Rattle can paint isn't worth the can it comes in. I saved $400 on each of my frames and it looks fantastic. Very durable too. As you know.
