Spray.bike paint

[Gari]

Anyone have first hand experience of using this stuff? Sounds really simple, which makes me wonder a little!!(yeh, it has been mentioned that I am a bit of a skeptic)
I want to repaint a pair of forks flat black so I can use on a couple of bikes without clashing
Cheers

No idea what's special about it Gari (apart from the marketing) but any paint will only provide a finish as good as the preperation beforehand. I'd simply buy a cheap can of whatever takes your fancy and use that.

Follow them on Insta but never had a chance to try it, I'll be interested to hear about the results if you try it.

Cool, was more concerned about paint that may not be suitable for carbon really.
Thanks

Any acrylic car spray will work on carbon Gari but nothing will bond properly without some prep work.

Yep, all prepped, just needing the primer/paint.

From what I've read it's a matt finish and not the most durable. For gloss and more durability you need to use 2 coats of their lacquer, which itself is not that durable.
But as said - prep is almost everything, the rest is how good you are with a spray can. I think it's main market is fixie hipsters.

Matte is what I am after so that’s good at least.
Not in a rush so I am happy to keep looking.
