did you paint them in place or off the car???
hand painted or sprayed??
great tidy looking job

I painted them on the car with a 1" paint brush and a tin of Hammerite direct to rust paint mate, hardest part was prepping them and cleaning them up :happy2:

Really happy with the way they have came out  :happy2:
Prep is the key isn't it, painting is the quickest part of the job. Looks good, you've inspired me to tidy mine up!

Gone but not forgotten :-)

Today I got the slutty red-head ready for tomorrow's 1/4 mile runs. I installed the upgraded lpfp by (USP/VAG TTR) in the tank, and hell...since I had to remove the lower rear seat, I went on and completely removed the backrests as well. The backrests are heavee! Tank was just about empty so went ahead and added the race fuel and changed files to race. I kept the original lpfp to mod-up for next time.

Put a 4 hour stint in with some bilt Hamber clay, the new Mer polish and a layer of dodo blue velvet.
My neighbour came out and asked me if I have problems. :stupid:

Looks shiny so worth the mental stability questions!  :booty:
