Adam R4 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Painted! Finished them in a match to the original silver, very OEM! Baby G60 by Ralphoto!, on FlickrTwo of them are brilliant, Im really please with how they've come out although I went slightly too far when rubbing down the other two and got down to the metal which I found to be quite rough and uneven, Ive not managed to work around it so there gonna need rubbing down again, along with some head scratching on how to improve the surface and get a better finish!
