Evenin all, I've been thinking for a while about getting rid of the bling under the bonnet... Love the shiny stuff when it's clean, but it's all the polishing....
Don't really want the expense of powder coating, but was wondering about spraying them satin/gloss black. Was the best way to do this? Thorough clean, keying and etch primer before paint? Considering the heat from the header tank, will that risk it peeling? Not expecting a perfect finish, just something I can give a wipe over to clean it up...

Thanks
