Finally managed to respray my Perfos :)

Not a 'factory finish', but seeing what they looked like before I'm a happy boy!

That's very nice work Bob, if you hadn't have said anything I wouldn't have known they were non-pro from your pictures.

Hey Bob, give your wheels a coat of wax as well, it stops the brake dust sticking to the new paint...

That's cos I've not done any close up shots! lol.

Cheers though.

I'll give the waxing a go Tomcat - any recomendations on what type of wax?
