Default Anyone painted/sprayed their Anti-Roll Bars?

I have some 22mm Zerosports roll bars, front and rear, that are losing their paint. What can I paint them with to keep them nice and pretty?

I have the whiteline heavy duty mounts on the rear that I know I can paint with just about anything, but what about flexing of the anti-roll bars?

Cheers for any help,

Wayne.

Hammerite 'Smoothrite' will do the trick.
Done mine!

This will become an annual ritual...

Yup, any paint on them will flake off over time as these parts "flexi" with use.

will the paint help them perform their anti-roll bars duties better?

Na, wont make any difference apart from corrosion protection - and rust would need to be really really bad to have any effect on the thickness of those anti roll bars.

Fresh paint will impress the MoT man but that's all.
