smiffy 99 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 Mine were manky so I decided to paint them gold hammerite, that looked shit and was doin my head in every time I looked at them. So I bit the bullet and took them off, the geezer sand blasted them then powder coated them. But he butchered the fuel pipe off so he could powder coat them so I need a new fuel line bit now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiffy 99 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 Instead of sanding them down could you paint them? Either white or try the italian flag on the GTA letters to be difrent? I like the idea of the Italian flag on the gta bit But the wrinkle red looks really good I don't want to cock it up by doin a big of painting Gonna have a think about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Now you need to remove the pads and remove the gold from their face, that way they wont overheat and will give full efficiency the next time your out pushing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
