I use hockey tape. I wrap the handle with one layer then twist
about 10 inches of the tape to make a rope and wrap that back around the handle then one more layer of tape to hold the rope in place. The rope part gives it a nice grip texture. This will not come off even through hard use. Proguard hockey tape |

Would scraping off the loose paint and just chalking them up work?

We spray painted ours with engine paint from autozone.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Would scraping off the loose paint and just chalking them up work? This would be my advice, as well. Personally, I want the handle to be able to rotate smoothly in my hand, and tape would interfere with that and possibly lead to blisters and/or additional callouses. Clean up the rust and flaking paint and hit it with a bit of Rustoleum paint/primer. |

For fuck's sake brother, taping kettlebell handles is sacrilege. You're not going to be happy with that, the humidity will destroy any tape in short order. It will also become a nasty, sticky mess after only a little use.
Use a steel grill brush to knock off loose paint and rust and either leave it be or give it a coat of grill paint. I leave mine outside with lots of missing paint, takes 5 seconds with a steel brush to knock off any rust on the handle and it leaves a good texture. |

I use baseball bat tape on my weight bars, haven't tried it on a kettle bell but I like it, its just enough that my hands don't end up torn up at much as the raw bar. I live in the desert and its lasted me all through our nasty super hot summer without getting sticky

You could blue them and just keep them oiled.

Harbor freight 4.5” angle grinder and a wire cup will rip off all loose paint.
Aircraft paint stripper would also be another option for removing loose paint. I usually grind/sand my cast plates, cast dumbbells, and kettlebells so they are smoothed over any rough surfaces. |

I use (camo) Equine wrap from TSC, more for padding (got the 'ritis) for my knuckles.
