Repainting 66 425 brackets?
What's the best way to do this?
I was thinking strip them with ugly VOC chemicals, sand a bit if needed, then rattle can with a flat or semi gloss black. What paint do you recommend?
Also how would I get spray paint to resist car cleaner and lacquer thinner? Which get used in the engine bay from time to time.
What have you all done for a clean but not over-the-top bracket restoration?
Thanks in advance and happy thanksgiving to the Americans here.

The BEST way is to degrease, sandblast, and wipe with lacquer thinner before painting. Brackets should be semi-gloss.
You can't. Lacquer thinner will remove any paint you apply. Powder coat is the only thing that will resist it. I don't know what "car cleaner" is. You can use a water soluble grease remover like Greeze Off, which will not lift paint.

It will however reflow any thermoplastic topcoat such as from a spray can.

I would go with powder coating. Usually basting and prep is built into the price, so you can just drop them off old and dirty and pick them up looking brand new with a finish that will last a long time.

Paint that is not effected by laquer thinner
(1) Properly activated/cured Epoxy
(2) Properly activated/cured 2K urathane primers
(3) Properly activated/cured Single stage urethane
(4) Properly Activated/cured Urethane Clear coat
Having said this, this only applies to the top major manufactures(Ex BASF, Glasurit,R-M, Etc.) not spin off Outfits making there own cocktails.
