    Is this following on from Tykes post :D

    Just treat it like a normal rattle can, don't worry about filling scratches so much though as it fills them quite well, but for gods sake don't let it run or you'll have to peel it off and start again as you can't sand it down. Dead easy to do otherwise, creates an instant smooth matt finish.

    Quite fancy trying this out on standard footrests and brackets on my bike.
    Is it expensive ?

    its usually really cheap, for a full car its about £500
    but I am not sure how long it will last if it was done on footpegs.

    Was thinking maybe just the heel plates and brackets, then get some nice black after market pegs.
