Picked up my arb bar from forum member Hogarthe this morning and now have the task of painting it, I assume arb would use 2 pack on their bars ?
Probably take the easier option and get a couple of f rattle cans.

As an electronics tech, I hate it when people say colour coding instead of colour matching (or colour coordinating). :(
Colour codes mean something, e.g., the resistor colour code.
Black = 0
Brown = 1
Red = 2
Orange = 3
and so on. :)

If colour coding, ARB powder coat their bars

A rub back and rattle pack will work just fine. Might not be the best looking or the most robust.

Yep, that’s what I though too... I always remembered resistor colour coding by the following which our Electronics Teacher taught us.

ARB powder coat as standard,but do colour match to original. I suppose it's hit and miss as to who does it but they did mine beautifully. You can get pressure cans made up in genuine colours.

Sorry, missed the point. Yeah,they powder coat.

Ours was similar but the first was Black and last 4 were: Bloody Virginity Gone West. The instructor at DCA tech college said "I will say this once only - you will remember it!"

ARB colour CODE... as in they colour to the factory code.
They do not MATCH, which is a different skill, accounting for fade, paint tones etc...

I should really break out my new gravity feed gun and do it properly.

I should really break out my new gravity feed gun and do it properly.The result would be a bit more appropriate for the D3
Rattle cans suited the D1 a bit better [emoji12]
