Why not paint the rack black as well?

Wouldn't work....Tis galvanised and you need a special primer....I did this once on some bars on my old Trooper, but with chucking tools and things up there, it soon peeled off and became tatty...The rack is boarded out on the landy and thats got a black coat on it...
Cheers for the thought though....
 
Acid etch primer..?

Better still you can (could) get some plastic coating stuff that when you heat the metal with a flame, the plastic would then melt from the powder into a solid plastic coating. No idea what it's called but I remember using iton my GCSE CDT course.

Think I will leave it be mate....Tis at the end of the day, an old landy...
 
It may be an old landy but its the effort and that little bit extra that the owners put in that means about 75% of all of them made are still working:eek:

Hammerite do a special metals primer. Its good stuff, used it on my window brackets that had to be stripped back. Know what you mean though it would be a lot of work.

Galvanised is tougher.
