I would like to give the metal work of my stainless steel Howa a coat of matt black paint.
I am nearing the end of having a rifle built on a Sako action, and once the dust settles on that, I intend upgrading the stock and the barrel of the Howa, so I don't want to spend too much on it at the moment..
Would matt black high temp engine paint be suitable and if so, does the stainless steel need any special priming? The paint I am looking at is the standard rattle can engine paint available in motoring stores....
I know most here favour Krylon, but these paints very difficult to get in the UK and are about three times the price you guys pay for them..
Thanks in advance,
Peter
