Great effort, it will be worth it once done :thumbs:

Is that overspray on the mirror bases or are they just peeling?

Yes its over spray, but the chaps are meticulously finishing it off, there's an odd run here and there but they've got it covered. As I'm not working at the moment I can spend the time visiting and see all the work that goes into finishing it off properly.

I can't wait to get it home then on the 14th March get the 3M's stone chip covering fitted. I was going to show it at the Ultimate Dubs but they turned me down. Never mind I'm still going. Also of to the Restoration Show at the NEC tomorrow.

A lot in cheers buddy.

Spent loads of money pimping mine up with etched lenses, demon eyes and black internals and then stick the shoddy old stone chipped originals back on!!!!.

Must get new ones and you can't go wrong for that price!!

That seems to be the criteria to get in :biggrin3:

Looking sweet buddy, definitely inspiring me to pull my finger out & get the front of my Mugello bread van minted up! Already bought my 3M VentureShield which is sat at home waiting to go on straight after I've had it painted :thumbs:
