Has anyone on here tried painting a standard Z1 fuel tap ?If so what have you found to be the best as regards fuel proof and paint adhesion to the tap.Powder coat or rattle can primer etc ?
Thanks

Etching primer, then black satin enamel paint but if tap leaks it will dissolve paint!........looks new when done though

Probably anodising would be best

Hammerite brush on paint is the best to paint fuel related parts + is petrol resistant
