    Thanks! I will see how good it is tomorrow in the sun.
    I used dupli-color perfect match and acrylic enamel clear. 4 cans of colour and 2 clear, but the DC cans are small.

    Looks just like my basket, but longer. Is it the 72" Rage basket?

    Very nice! What's the technique? Do you take everything off, paint it and put it all back on?

    Yeah it's a 62.. Think it looks good.. pretty sturdy overall might need to reinforce the center if I put some heavy weight on it

    Nice. My basket is no longer glossy black. It fades really fast. I may pull it off and respray the wind fairing and tubes. I thought about doing something to the middle of mine also. It sags with the weight of a tire up there, but it hasn't broken and the tire hasn't budged so I guess it is holding the weight fine. It was a little unnerving at first.
