Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:29 pmRight then time for a wee update, im not long in from puttin another coat on the bars! 
Wasnt happy with the finish the other day coz the dust/offspray cam up and stuck to the bars causing a bit of a ruff finish...so tonight as soon as I got in I wapped the heaters on wet n dried the bars in question then had my tea then it was right back out to put a nice shiny smooth glass finish of the black shillack on those bars!....minted!
Heres some pics....any bits of greay primer on floor etc are away now as I took these pics last week...paint in cab now done! woohoo!
This wee thing worked a treat!
