What do you use to get the metal so shiny, wire wool and something?

 

[Nebdingo]

I'll finish it when I can be ar5ed!

 

[caymanr26]

if the parts are already polished you just use metal polish to shine them up when dirty. To Polish them that shiny in the first place is a ot of work to do by hand - best finding a metal polisher to do it for you

 

[makavelli]

looking as good as always tim i still need to get those samcos fitted

 

[caymanr26]

they were really easy to fit Andy - I did it myself which I was quite pleased with lol! Only thing I will say is be careful with the jubilee clips - if you slide them around on the pipes too much the clip takes the shine off the pipes. Luckily I had loads of them at the time so fitted another one instead!

question! all these lovely sprayed covers , how do you keep the lettering , is it all masked off? or is there a clever way of doing it?

[caymanr26]

ask middo to do it for you and he'll put the stickers on and laquer over them for you - itll be a top job too
