Unfortunately, its a 2 to 3 day job so house calls aren't really practical. However, I will be thinking about doing a few more sets, as it would appear that I'm not too bad at it. And I'm cheap ;)

They where worth the late :smile:
Masked...
Rubbed...
Primed...
Base coat...
2nd. coat...
Then some high strength acrylic matt clear coat...
Done...
He collected them today, and seems pretty pleased - as am I, this is by far my best work yet. The finish, although hard to achieve, looks amazing - almost lazer-etched.
Hopefully, they'll be on the car soon and rob will be posting pictures for us all to drool over lol :)
A before picture...
(Rob, you gotta do the after pic lol)
And a quick video of his new de-cat setup...
