Thanks for the input, I think I'll try Rustoleum this weekend on my spare. I'm going to try Krylon Fusion Satin Black on the license plate holder. I'll post pics of the results.
I just bought a 91 T4R and would like to restore some of the exterior metal surfaces (bullhorn, tire swing, spare tire etc.).
Can anyone recommend a matte black spray paint that looks good and won't flake/rub off?
