As far as method goes, we just took off the top layer of laquer with 400 grit, and then rattle canned it, two coats.
It was black before so I'm not sure if thats why is such an even finish, but I love the way it catches the colours around it, and the fact its NOT shiny :D

Wow well done on the hard work, has paid off, it has a strange appeal that colour! Nice :)
not sure on the wheels myself but will withhold comment until they are on lol
but I think it's gonna look the dogs danglies!!

Thanks fella, not everyone is going to like it, in the words of Chuff, Its good to be different!
