Did you have to repair any curbing at all?

What processes for rubbing them down did you go through they look pretty good!

Cheers Smile

Firstly i used P80, P400 on the bare metal and then P1200 wet and dry paper to rub down the primer.

I tidied some the kerbing with a rotary tool (like a dremel) but it's far from perfect.

They could have done with some filler but i'm happy with them!
