Bet those come out lovely, the last lot I had done didn’t.
My poor prep I presume, but your prep is perfect, so no excuses from the platter excepted.

This is the seat I bought a while back from Germany to replace the Silvers plastic one on SME So decided to cut the old cover off One minor rust spot Decision to see if I can get a pot of Humbrol Black and just touch the edges in

Continued with the small jobs Headlamp shell when I stripped down was missing one of these This was one of those things you pickup at Kempton Park, inside diameter 0.4mm variance and outside diameter 0.1mm difference - close enough Bit of wet and dry taking edges off
