Thanks man :love:
Maybe, but obviously them bits would come out darker than the rest of the light, won't have the same affect.. Coud be worth buying some spare lights cheap (as I did) and giving it a go :)



I use 1200/1500 to flat down the lacquer then work up to 2000-2500...then heavy cut compound with a heavy cutting pad, then finished with a polish and finishing pad :)

I'd start with 2000 and spend a bit longer wet sanding if you feel less confident :)

nice one thanks buddy,will be good to get use out of my heavy cutting pad as ive never felt the need to use the cutting pad before.

Got the centres back from the painters, they've done an amazing job once again! Was up till 4am last night re-building and sealing them up! Dropped them off today to get rubbered up [B)]

Good work big gay bear :love:

look very nice i hope your going to treat them to some sort of sealant/wax.

Al, that is what that C5 Wheel Armour is....best wheel protection on the market (crystalises, causing a protective layer, for about 9-12months at a time) :D
