Spray Paint the chrome legs?

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I have painted legs and they look good if done right but they will
scratch easily. For less than $50 you can obtain a new set of painted
ones.If you have a good quality machine, go for the real painted legs
and you won't be sorry you wasted your time and money.

Might want to think about purchasing new ones

I suspect, to do it right, the chrome would need to be sandblasted
off....or at least really roughed-up.

I bought some black ones for my STTNG a couple of years ago. (I ended
up putting them on my T*Z instead.) They look awesome! They are much
nicer than if I had painted them myself. For the price; I'd go with a
new set.

Use Rustoleum Hammer Finish Black. It's fairly tough, and if you get a
scratch you can very easily shoot the scratch with a fresh shot of
paint and the touchup will be invisible.

Sure, I paint them all the time. I prefer to
bead blast them first, and try to use legs that
are less than perfect. The paint will stick better
on them.

Many different types of paint for this, but I've
found the Rustoleum "Hard Hat" to do a pretty fair
job for a gloss finish.
