I will be doing the same with mine Did you do the pipes in a semi-gloss and the cooler in mat? How did you paint the silicone joiners? Did you rub the pipes back a bit with some wet'n'dry before spraying?I am looking forward to install pictures Edited 31/07/09 07:46 AM by XtRmn8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted some polished aluminum pipes before so I'll give these a try. The satin looks great.I was looking at getting some black replacement joiners as they they are not too expensive.

jasol Member 571 Member For: 15y 9m 10d Location: adelaide Posted 31/07/09 08:35 AM Share Posted 31/07/09 08:35 AM I was going to spray mine myself but it was only $20 powdercoated, if I was to spray em myself I would have brought 2 decent brand cans theres almost 20buxs there + all the sanding and it wouldnt look as good or be as durable it might be an idea do ring a few powdercoaters.yea I looked at some black joiners today and they look idenical to what I have done lol they just had a black skin you could still see the blue at the ends they were about $12ea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
