Paint for movers

[Jamtastic3]

Hi BR.

 

Looking for black heat resistant(ish) paint that I can spray on the lamp plates inside some moving heads.

The current paint has pealed and now the plates are metallic, resulting in the lights giving more visible light spills from the fan grilles.

 

Any links would be great.

 

Cheers!

Halfords exhaust paint or a google

Since heat-resistant paint always falls off eventually, how about black anodising the aluminum parts? A few moments of Googling and I found these people

I use engine enamel for my lights, it is designed for high temp.

You can get high gloss enamel or satin black,

It is available from auto supply shops.

The first time you use the light after painting,

you can expect some smoke and some burning smell,

But this will go away after a couple of uses.

and be fine after that.

Dont forget to clean up the surfaces properly,

Most important!

Ah yes, how do you think I go about this?

Start by using a wire brush to remove any loose paint or any rust,

use a fine grade of sandpaper to clean it up,

it should ideally be clean shiny metal,

Clean the metal with an oil free solvent like metholated spirits,

If it looks clean and shiny, paint away

This will produce the best job,

But if the metal wont clean up too easy,

And the part you are painting is out of sight,

dont worry too much, just clean it as best you can,

then paint.

It all depends on what finish quality you want,

And how much time you have to do the job.
