Church 209 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 Does it need to be painted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popkid 16 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 No, it is painted black, as per the original part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conscript 45 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 I'm guessing coating it in something would be prudent though, as no doubt it will suffer the same fate as the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwise 155 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Got a brand new one to fit myself, I think I might go over it with a layer of gloss black paint and maybe the under side with some Bilt Hamber underseal just to give it the best chances of protection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church 209 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Given that new & prepainted costs just £15.60 including VAT, imho it makes little sense to clean rust & paint old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popkid 16 Report post Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah, I smeared my new one with a light coating of WD40 before putting it in but don't see point doing too much more given the original lasted 5 years and cost under £16 to replace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conscript 45 Report post Posted June 10, 2018 Bought the part yesterday and gave it a few coats of cheap lacquer, hoping to keep it protected. Aiming to replace it in a bit (I'm having a very lazy Sunday :p) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
