:up: Thanks Allan,very clever process,just wondering how durable the finish is ?
I also found it funny that the guy doing the job is wearing a mask & gloves,but his arms aren't protected in any way !! You'd have to think this STUFF is bad for you in its raw state ?
Like Lead,Asbestos & all sorts of Chemicals are !!
Cheers,
Roger

The Wheeler Dealers TV show used this process on a Range Rover. Looks to have turned out quite nice.

Yeah, I seen that before. I think it's amazing with some of the stuff you can do to customize your bike now. I stumbled upon this a couple of months ago, I was think about doing this to an old T250 tank I have lying around, but I just cant: the patina on it's too nice to destroy. Well enjoy the video....
