Abes that is looking smart mate .... The oilers do look rather smart too .... Everytime i see you using grate blackener im thinking i might give that a go ....

I know more effort to get rid of every bit of paint but you dont have to faff about with coats of paint leaving to dry rubbing down and more paint etc etc .

got a few pumps could be made into my 1st victim though

matt

Cheers mate, go on give it a go you know you want too lol. word of warning though what time you save on the painting side you end up putting in on the prep side

looks great does that m8.

excellent job there abes..i will bring my mill over for you to restore.....
keep up the good work feller..
