Mr ColinG Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I have removed my polished Estorils to give them a right good mirror finish with a Frosts kit, but I have a dilemma,What to do with the parts between the spokes.Options are:1. Leave as is, currently a graphite grey colour.2. Remove the paint and polish up, the same as the face.3. Paint a different colour altogether.opinions? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> Edited June 27, 2006 by Bluloop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris260 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Well worth redoing them, that one looks a lot better. With regards to the painted bits I think you should do them the same colour as they are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
