I am looking to paint a pair of front steel uprights. Normally I would nickel plate them, but these are RF 84 ones so they use the blasted threaded keeper to hold the bearing in - not an easy way to clean the plating off the threads after plating.
I used to use a zinc-heavy product that could make metal look like cast iron or cast aluminum depending on which can you used (name escapes me now, AllCast maybe?) but my most recent can has had all the good chemicals taken out by the manufacturer - now brake clean just rips the paint off the metal.
Does anyone have any (tested) recommendations for a paint that can stand up to brake fluid and brake cleaner?
thanks,
