Yes, just wait til you feel the difference that a pair of lightweight wheels makes.
Its astounding. Visually, they look superb too. |

Thanks, God knows how old the can was. Only just enough to do these little bits.

there’s a world of difference between factory painted pinstripes and some bits of tape from ebay that almost line up

Looks great. Out of interest what did you use to do it materials wise? I’m tempted to go do the same. I sprayed up the two frame plugs and two seat cowl bolts the other day with some matte black stove paint I had just to make them a bit better looking

I used some 800 grit wet and dry to lightly rub down the shell. Then two coats of Halfords grey primer. Then about four light coats of Halfords satin black. I didn't lacquer it as I didn't want it shiny.
Hope that helps. |

Cheers will get some paint and give it a go. Looks so much better than the grey to me
