This is a question Bodge Jobs

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

All rats
have to be sprayed matte black. It's the law, or something.

Not all
Rust, road grime, oil and the remains of whatever paint it had are perfectly acceptable. I like rats, but I'm too much of a perfectionist to do it properly.

Most Matte Black "RAT" bikes
are fakes, proper rat bikes are whatever colour the bits you put on happen to be. I do like Matte Black as a colour (or lack of)though, nothing looks bad in it.

Either matt black
or better still, grey primer. (For that "I'm going to flat that down and get a superb airbrushed graphic on it. One day....When I get round to it"- look) After a few weeks of grubby hands all over it, it'll be proper black.
