    a while back I saw a thread about someone repainting/refinishing some carbon heel plates for their rearsets

    Tried searching but couldn’t find it, anyone got a link for the thread

    I am fairly sure they did it as a wrap with the vinyl. I can't recall the thread name though:(.

    Guilty, it was me and my Blade.

    Flatted off then coated them with 2 pack rattle can lacquer.

    I need to do this to the heel guards on my Gilles rearsets. Then I am adding some clear film to avoid having to do it again.
