Fendthead Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well, bit of a change from my normal Mud and dirt, but was asked if I could do a colour change and I said yes....FOOL I had no idea how much work was involved But it's sarting to get there now. Has taken ages as I have had to leave the paint to dry for days so as not to risk finger prints. And I wanted to do a proper job of it, not leaving a hint of the original green paintwork.(errrm but the green star thingy has stumped me a bit as the real one has not got it.....Mark, you should have cut it off )Haha Sods law tho, my full time job has now got very busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
