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
. 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
cheers 375.

Well done.

Hi Wayne,
Martin has a set of Anthracite metalic ones that look out of this world
Was seriously interested until he sorted me out with a set of the correct grey ones

Hi Wayne,
Never appologise coz its a bit on the big side
I would draw file all the surfaces to make them flat and remove all the sand cast marks before polishing
