"THE BIG SWEED"Well, young Mr. Sharkey was brave enough to lend me his pegs to experement with - here goes...
They were all in pretty good nick, although the previous attempt at a referb was beginning to flake. A quick sand and a clean with my magic pink stuff and we were ready to roll...
Then on with the high build primer...
Then building the 3D effect (prior to clear coat)
Then on with the clear coat....
Nice
On the Sweed... Well, it'd be rude not to...
Looks bloody good...
...But would it look as good with ameltheas?
What do you recon peeps?

Thanked 7,752 Times in 5,648 PostsI know what you mean mate, I REALLY like them lol.
To be fair, they are a good set of pegs and Sharkey did pay up front for the paint so he'll probably have an interest in getting them back lol.
I'll txt him later and ask if he minds me taking them to hillingdon. Fingers crossed.19t, greens, 3" inlet, 3" downpipe with race cat, V70R catback, autotech map...
