True ! :)


If its dented Dan and since its being painted, perhaps try to tap this out and file flat again so as to be good enough for painting ..?

I've not been back there. I collected the bits and they were wrapped up in bubble wrap so didn't have a proper look until I got home. I know if I question them they will just say 'oh it must of been like that already' and I can't 'prove' it was fine.

I've had a bit of a go at knocking the dent out, but have been busy doing my front shocks today so I'll have another crack at it tomorow :roll: Chris N thinks he might have another good one though, but I still need to paint the bloody thing, or risk the powdercoaters again... :roll:

I had one which I'm pretty sure went to Chris and Darren when I closed the workshop. I always do them myself with Plasti-Cote from Halfrauds, not that that's much help now, sorry...

Do you use plasticote direct onto the bare stainless? How long does it last?
