Handlebar Control Bits


The control housings on the left and right handlebars were intact and not damaged, and really just needed to be painted. Since I had already sent the larger pieces out to be powder coated, I decided to prep and paint these small components myself. The body shop working on the pinstriping and painting suggested I clean the parts with a solvent and then paint them with multiple coats of trim black. I think several manufacturers make a trim black product. It's basically an aerosol used for painting exterior trim bits on cars and comes in a matte finish.
