Hi Bernie, nice to be finally doing a bit to the ole girl. What finish is what Bernie?. Well the first finish factory well weathered over 24 years :lol: . The grey look has been shot with glass beads, just a spray pot type blaster. Final finish was brown cutting polish, then blue, the meguiars All Metal Polish then a good rub over with a microfiber blue cloth cheers Bernie.

Hi 375, funny you should say that, because I didn't even know the centre's were ally, just never payed much attention to it really till the other day, anodize gives it away I suppose #-o cheers 375.

Well done.
