Best way is to get them powdercoated really for durability, but if your happy just having it sprayed any good sprayshop should be able to do it mate!!

Whats happened to Gaz?!

Hammerite is fuck all use unfortunatly as its not really meant for high temps!!!

You could just get it done in high solids(2pack) with a few thick coats but whether it'll last or not is another thing!!!!!!!!!!
