Last week, I came home from the Softie's meet with Oblark's brand new 18" peg reps, with instructions to paint them dark matt grey...

Here's what happened...

He collected them today, and seems pretty pleased - as am I, this is by far my best work yet. The finish, although hard to achieve, looks amazing - almost lazer-etched.

Hopefully, they'll be on the car soon and rob will be posting pictures for us all to drool over lol :)

A before picture...

And a quick video of his new de-cat setup...

Unfortunately, its a 2 to 3 day job so house calls aren't really practical. However, I will be thinking about doing a few more sets, as it would appear that I'm not too bad at it. And I'm cheap ;)
