Title: Anyone tried spraying MX1000's? It's an arse sorting "MX" logo out.....any tips?
Post by: mark 2 on April 13, 2008, 08:13 PM: Spent the last few days painting an old silver caliper black, that's gone alright but not having much success filling in the white MX logo. Anyone got any tips? My only other idea was to ask uncle Del to make decals up, they might be popular for resto's. Del? Go on....... :daumenhoch:

Your all resto champions, nice example Steve. I got pissed off in the end and bought a black mx 1000 :LolLolLolLol:

But I will finish off what I started....for once.
