Whaler,
I use Dupont "99-a pitch black" Paint. this stuff is great for frames, brackets, or anything you want to paint gloss black. If you want flat, mix in 25% flattner...looks like velvet..I get the paint at the local "Finishmaster" autobody supply store. If you are unfamiliar with this paint, or how it is mixed, the guys at the store usually can help. Steve R
