Ronseal No Rust Metal Paint on Chequered Plates (EDIT)

Anyone got any info on procedure/prep when doing this ?

Thanks

Mike, when I did my bars I just used a basic spray enamel. Cleaned the surface with a stiff brush and just masked the edges of the bars. Quick spray and job done. What ever paint you use on the step is not going to last so when it starts to wear a bit just top it up again. I think, even if you took to plate off and had it powder coated it will still come off due to the abrasion of feet getting in and out.

First Four Off-road. They come galvanised, but I'd prefer them in blacK, so it's out with the paint brush. Darren
