you've just got to put the hard work in. It helps that i've got my dad to lend a hand too! he's worked with metal for years and just has a nack for the stuff!

there's no real short cuts, I used a DA to shave the lips and give them a quick buff, but the rest of it is mainly done by hand using wet and dry paper.

look at the shiney shiney, look at da shiney shiney

craped my self when i saw the picture of the paint striper going on the center caps had to read on a bit till i could breath out :lol::lol:

all stripped and almost all polished :)

Special additive should be arriving from ebay meaning that they can be painted shortly!
