It's a strange colour, it changes with the light, some days it can look really gold, others it just looks silver  :undecided:

I do like it though  :smiley:

Getting there!...... when did this refurb start again?  :lipsrsealed:

Oh and yeah this cold stint has made me abandon all my painting for now....  :sad:

Well, i'm going to try and at least get the body kit fitted now I have power in the shed, hoping heating it up will help.

Just wish I had a bloody garage...

well here we are, one wheel done





Apologies for the crap pics, the lights in this room are rubbish

I'm happy with the finish now I've polished it but I had a major disaster with the black as it got under the masking tape in places and etched itself into the lacquer!!

Had to go over it very carefully with some 1000 wet and dry but most of it has been removed but I know it's still there lol

and here is my little helper for the evening  :smiley:



I'm doing the next 2 together so just got to get the tyres knocked off the beads and I'll start sanding them in the loft at work :wink:

Nice touch with the switch, is that the loft to your house?
