Paint
I want to paint my brake handels, the part that mounts to the clip-on. Do you think after a good cleaning with alcohol I can spray them black or do I have to do sand and primer?

RE: Paint
I do not know but I was thinking of getting mine powder coated or painting them. I think you would have to sand it down to get it sto stick well.

You should try to find "case" paint, or an oxide primer to help adhesion with the aluminum. If you were painting a part that wasn't being handled a lot you wouldn't need to, but brake levers... I would suggest getting them powder coated, or maybe anodized.

I was thinking a good cleaning and quick shot of black enamel. O-well. Youguys are probably right. If I want it done right, go with the powder coat. I wonder how much that stuff costs?
