they look sweet !! so is that just re-lacquer or do i have to paint them too

 

[jamie paton]

no mate , just re laquer. check out the thread, its on moffmeisters last post. cost about ten - fifteen quid all in. masking tape, degreaser, clear laquer. all from hellfrauds. i managed to do a good job and i'm mechanically dyslexic.

very good results! I must have a go myself, very tempted cause mine are the exact same as your before pics!

everybody's go the same mate, i just picked all the loose bits of laquer off with my finger nails then, sprayed them with degreaser and dried them off, you notice the difference after one coat of laquer, i used five all in and the whole job was done in about 2 hours. pimps and peasy as we used to say back in the eighties. ha ha. awesome guide from whoever wrote it in the first place, so hats off to them. i also did my rears in red hammerite cos they'd gone pink as well, then a couple of coats of laquer to finish them off.
