That might include those costs up front so maybe not such a rainy day. Andy |

Have you got any photos of the gouged alloy? If it's not too deep I'll give it a go with the polishing mop. I've been reading up on brushed finishes too. I'd be happy to give it a go. Could save a fortune and if I fuck up the finish it can always be polished out and powder coated etc

I don't think that they'll polish out leaving an even surface. Is there some kind of heat resistant filler that will withstand powder coating, as you could probably replicate the brushed finish? |

You're funny - how in the name of all that is holy would an engineering retard like me know such a thing?  I was thinking of rubbing it down the best I can and getting Pete to 'wrap' that bit. Worth a go I reckon. I'll take it off once the new plastic arrives from America on a bed of diamonds - well, it'd better do at those shipping prices  It looks like it's fixed to the plastic but I've not really looked at it in detail. I need to have a look at the exploded drawings to see if it shows it.
