I have an shiny allow Bullbar and when the sun hits it at the right angle, it shines directly in my eyes.
Has anyone put paint or anything on their bar to stop this...if so, what paint
Thanks

the old man put a bit of matt black on a hilux bar once, that worked
well, black cloth tape worked also.

Dunco
Take it off and get it powercoated wont shine in your eyes and a lot easier to look after no more polishing
or just use a scotchbrite pad tape up the bit you want to paint scratch it up the bit you want to paint so the paint can key to the alloy and get a matt black p/pak and put 2 or 3 light coats on letting it dry between coats and it should be fixed

Scotchbrite is the go, they use them to give stainless steel the 'brushed look'.

A strip or two of Gaffa tape on the back side of the bar where your getting the glare from will do the trick.

Matt black on the rear facing haof of the bar will do the trick Dunco
