now don't laugh, i put a rocker cover in the oven for ten minutes, and other than smell pretty bad and almost set off the smoke alarm, it did bugger all to the paint finish, its still a matt illuminous orangy/pink, they look bloody horrible, i'm thinking a very light sand and then a trip to halfrauds for some different paint and then its round 2 DING DING!!!!!
i'm not even gonna try the laquer because the colour is that crap the last thing i would want to do is make it shiny :crazy:
oh well you win some you lose some, but this ain't over yet :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only member that lists their location as South Africa on the member list is Gerritt. He had the big accident at Kyalami and wrecked his storm. The last time he visited was Jan this year mate. Obviously it could be someone who just mentioned they were in S.A. in a post. I only remember one guy metioning Fi and I am pretty sure he was in the UK but never posted details, so I just assumed a certain amount of Male cow excretia!
