What kind of paint is best to use on bat-tops and dustwashers? I am looking to use the following paint to coat my bat-tops and dustwashers in:

The paint can be combined with a candy coat to have the color change from black to whatever the candy coat color is. Also, what is the best method for applying the paint to the bat-tops and dustwashers?

We've sprayed sticks and dustwashers before using Plasti-kote spray. Creates a flexible coating so does not flake, using the associated sealant. Not sure if it's available elsewhere, but it's commonly found in the UK.

So if I coat with the spray, it should be fine to paint?

Plasti-kote is a type of spray paint, so is available in a range of colours, and the flexibilty is built into the paint. I suppose car paints like it sounds you intended to use should work OK if sealed properly with a lacquer, though may still be susceptible to chipping or flaking.

There is also plasti-dip if you want to dip it :) I saw this thread and tried it on one of my happ sticks and so far so good. Who knows how long it will last though.

Hm, something to think about. Alright, thanks for the help!
