Cheers Neil  ;)

I bought the aeroyal off gaybay and it was in pretty good condition (few marks here and their)  8)

So what i done was striped it down & polished the rails & guts with a dremel set and some autosol
and they came up like new  :)
Then i got turtle wax plastic polish and buffed till i got a nice shine  ;)

Applied some new side & rear decals and presto  :daumenhoch:

Nice build 8)

Did you say it had been super chromed as it looks different? Was it FHM?
Title: Re: Mk2 super tuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Is that FHMreaders (mark)'s Gold coating?

justin you are the BEST BURNER BUILDER EVER  :4_17_5:    ???

your enthusiasm for burners  and committment to raleigh is commendable     :angel:

Post by: beard1973 on November 10, 2009, 10:18 AM
Jason... Am I not able to ask a simple question without your sarcastic interjection?

Dale asked the same question.. it was unanswered. I wondered if Mark is using a different coating as it does look a different colour in these photographs.

Simples..  ::)

Nice resto job

Have to agree the superchrome does look a bit yellow though like the 25th anni paint jobs.

It could be just the camera light mind.

I think the obscure colour may be a result of the reflection of the astro turf. Best lawn I ever saw.  8)

Its a straight forward question... a YES or NO will do... you can add the pointless exclamation marks as well if you so require.

I have plans to send a frame for Gold Coating in the not too distant future and would really like to know if Mark has changed his colour?

Fair enough...

I asked a simple question... if you can't give a simple YES or NO answer then I'll just ask Mark himself...  ::)
