My roof camera mounts received black coating after I cut and drilled the brackets. The flat-black enamel in my purchases is another finish format alongside the textured aerosol bedliner used on those mounts.

The item in my kit
I bought Rust-Oleum Flat Black Enamel as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
I cut and drilled aluminum bracket pieces for the roof cameras and lights. The camera mounts needed additional holes and adjustments as I brought the assemblies together on the extrusion.
I sprayed the camera-mount pieces with black bedliner during the fabrication sequence. The coated brackets then formed part of the roof camera and light arrangements shown in the diary.

My build notes
The black finish was one stage within the mount fabrication. The holes and profile connections still determined where the pieces could sit, so the diary records the drilling and fitting alongside the coating.
The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The gloss-black Rust-Oleum enamel changes the finish sheen while retaining a canned-paint format. Herculiner aerosol changes both the application format and the surface texture.
Rust-Oleum Gloss Black Enamel
This protective enamel is supplied as a liquid coating in a can. Its gloss-black finish provides a different sheen from flat-black enamel.
This Herculiner aerosol applies a textured protective coating to smaller areas. It can be useful for compatible exterior van trim or coating touch-ups.
