can't believe anyone would consider painting Tuffs?!  i should think most of us at some time have lost hours trying to scrubb off crappy old paint where someone did it in the past.

i can't see much wrong with them the way they are  :-\

if you want em whiter then stick em in bleach for longer........painting tuffs is just wrong!

the paint neil uses is hard as fook!!

Any brake rub just cleans straight off

Painting is a last resort yes

But shouldn't be ruled out until you have seen the rusult with ya own eyes

People don't believe it when I say the ones I hot off neil are painted..

Not everyones cuppa tea I admit..

you are  right  . dont  get me wrong i would have rather kept them unpainted but  i need real white ones  so i will paint them and sort of resto them in a fashion ..
i might be right i might be wrong  . every one has diffrent opions .  :daumenhoch:   


 sorry if i have upset any one by painting skyways  but in the end they will look nice 




i hope   :-[

there not done with a rattle can , i can understand peoples kneejerk reaction to 'paint' but this is as good as it gets and neil doesn't do 9 out of 10, so if its white the boy wants its either paint or £500 nossers  ;)

Horses for courses mate, they were never painted bitd so I don't see why you needed to paint them now.  Perhaps a media blasting rather than bleaching would have brought them up better.  From your pics they looked like engrained dirt affected more than anything.


Better to crash and burn than fade away
