  • Front splitter painting

    My lower front splitter has a couple of little marks on it so. Want to get I looking mint Eastwood for next year, don't want a shiny finish more like factory which it is now, is it just a matter of getting it painted Matt black

    Also if anyone has any pics of theirs painted I would appreciate it

        You can get the aerosols on eBay

        1 can will do your both hockey sticks and splitters

        Just heat it up with a space heater first and they have some fan and pressure in them

              I used Satin Black aerosol for both. Had to do it every year as I was doing 15-20k per year at motorway speeds.

                I used satin black vinyl wrap looks far better than painting and more durable even done the hockey sticks..
                Good thing about the vinyl is it stops it chipping the paint away..

                  What sort of vinyl wrap did you use? I had considered using some form of wrap before, but with the shape of the hockey sticks I thought it would be impossible to wrap them properly.
