waltimus Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Guys New to all this stuff! set up a Photobucket account now. Cheers :) I used a Ceramic P80 150 mm Sanding Disc we've started getting them from Germany at work and they are a good abrasive. they have a multi-hole extraction system that clears the dust. cleaned all the old paint and rust of perfect. I was going to use a flap-wheel but thought it might be a bit aggressive and not so controllable! I'm thinking of spraying it in black as it was with a 2K paint. might even put stone chip on it to protect it from the Devon roads! what do you think? Thanks again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
