Black windscreen

[Steve Bosworth]

Hi all I’m after replacing my widebody chrome windscreen and uprights for a black version .

If you have no luck getting one, you can paint them, but be sure to use an etch primer on the alloy frame and uprights  first before painting , otherwise it won't look good for very long. Nice car BTW.

Take them to your local powder coaters. Be a couple of hundred £ to have them blasted and coated

They should be able to mask it if you ask.

 

the seals on the frame can be tricky to get back in and may need some lubricant to get things moving easily.

Would have thought with the correct masking that they may not even have to take the screen out the channels.

Powdercoat cures at around 200degC so I wouldn’t want to risk the stress on the glass or melting the seals.
