Got to agree black + red is a good combo as well.

Nice work there dude . Ive heard that putting a few drops of baby oil on the wet and dry helps a lot when polishing Alu.

looking good mate !
im sure you will either get sick of polishing, or get too deep into it to stop
but i will warn you !! have a break between polishing... lots of them. stretch / rotate yor wrists, massage them. ANYTHING . im not joking.
if you dont, you will get repetitive strain injusry ( RSI ) very quickly... and its not very nice at all.

Very nice Jakal91, what is the quality of the painting up close with the naked eye, do you have orange peel ? you might of get a better finish sending the panels of to be professionaly plated of powder coated ?

Ye i like that as well, gives it a nice textured look and will fit in with the orange colour to.Jakal91 said:Thanks a lot for the replies. Polishing is going well, Very tiring! so i have taken a lot of breaks from it ( didnt know about the risk of RSI).
The paint in person looks nice, it has a small amount of orange peel but i like it that way.

Why would you need to remove the rivets to paint it?
