Some of you are aware that I am adding a three foot tall sissy bar and rack to my Bob, those that are not aware you now know. I had mentioned using a truckbed liner for paint but it $100 a gallon and all I need two cups! So I'm looking for a textured paint that isblack. I've seen textured spay paint but have never used it and wonder how well it will hold up to bungee strap hooks. Another option that I have thought about is a spray on type rubber paint my neighbor told be about. I think that would handle the straps better than paint but he told it will grey over time. So what I need is opinions on a black textured "paint" that will hold up to straps and stay black.

The bar and brackets are all complete and ready to paint. If I figure out what paint to use I will probably paint and put on the bike this weekend. If I do I will be sure to post pictures.

 

My suggestion is to try the wrinkle black spray from HD. I used the denim black on my sissy bar, mirrors and belt guard and it looks great. I would think the wrinkle black would hold up to some bungees, if not then you've got the rest of the can for touch ups.

 

I've seen the bed liner paint at wal Mart in smaller containers.

 

POR 15 will hold up against almost anything, thay have a flat and gloss black but not a textured. A little creativity with a sponge will give you a texture.

 

have you considered powder coat

 

Wow! Three feet of sissybar is gonna be pretty cool. Can't wait to see some pics! BTW - I've gotta go with bikerdog134 on the powder coating. Lots of gloss levels and textures available.

 

Iagree w/bikerdog134 -powdercoat. They take a lot of abuse - eventie wraps they will mar the paint. Either that or Black Chrome which is a LOT more $$$.
Paint - even urathane w/clearcoat will not hold up - sorry.
I have a home made quick release luggage rack I need to chrome. It's worth the investment.
good luck and provide pics

 

That they do. The local store had aerosol cans for under $10. Plasticoat brand.
