eddy Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Like that . . . Somehow I don't think that we will be drooling over the artistry of the 2017 S-works Venge in 2040....... RocknRolla, henningvr and IH8MUD 3

Uni Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Nice, just give it a clear coat !! Can steel be finished with just a clear coat? . Snap! That raw look is just .... :My OH also said if it was his he'd go clear coat , but and I hope it's not an offence to David's craftsmanship, I've decided on a tinted coat. It's going to be a surprise to me too as to how it turns out. Eddy Gordo 1

It's going to be a surprise to me too as to how it turns out. That would be my next choice before paint. What colour tint?
Monark Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) A tint that highlights the fillets and craftsmanship.... surely.... Edited February 19, 2017 by Monark
