The finder is painted.
Did 2 coats of etch primer followed by 4 coats of the same gloss white in a spray can from Bunnings. After it had dried for a couple of days I 'Baked' it in my BBQ with 1 burner going on low at 70-80ºC, a bit higher than I wanted but I doubt the temperature gauge is accurate.
Baking hardened the paint and turned it glosser than if I had left it for a month to cure. Turned out really well.
Next in the BBQ is a 4" 100ED tube that needs a repaint, it just fits in the BBQ.
