Barrels GT550B

Post by Dav57 »

Hi Guys
I got my barrels back Friday from Firefox Racing after they had a rebore and new pistons and asked them to bead blast them as they had been painted black a previous owner and didn't look very good,there are slight pit marks on them but cant feel them when you put your fingers over them,when they were new were they painted silver and if so has anybody painted them and if so what's the best paint to use?

Not painted from new. Vapour Blasting normally brings them up better than new. I had mine Vapour Blasted and they were brighter than a NOS barrel that I have.
