Well Jonathan has been to see Electromold and to get the finish I want is going to be either way too much time or way too much money so I will have to stick to paint I think.

Might be worth asking the ceramic coaters in Leongatha? One of their finishes might suit & ceramic coating wouldn’t be overly expensive - probably less than plating. Worth an email with a pic + dimensions.

Thanks Cuppa, I might check that out.
Spent some time in my mates shed today... Got all the sandblasting done and drilled and tapped the shaft, made a cap and welded a tag onto the drum to tie the rope to.

I thought a nice shade of pink would have been more your colour.
It would clash with the lilac bullbar... HahahaQuote:

No I won't bother to clear coat... I am going to polish up the ribs on the top hat though like they come new now.

A clear coat will just add that little extra protection i think. You gone to so much trouble so far. You might aswell....
Not much point mate, it's all aluminium so can't rust or anything. They came out of the factory with no coating at all.
Clear coat will just keep it looking shimk for longer. As said, you've done so much, may as well keep it looking nice
Clearcoat is just another thing to come off. It flakes and looks shit once old. If you want to touch up you need to remove clear coat to do so, with no clearcoat just spray from the can lol.
Bloody hell that looks amazing! ! Looks like the top sticker had changed design a little. Still looks pucker tho. . .
Yeah the bloody serial number didn't quite match with the window in the sticker... oh well
Was going to put it all together last night but I didn't have any grease at home, should get it done tonight but then won't be a few weeks until it's on the car anyway.
You’re not wrong, top job Winnie!Quote:
