When I found the matt concrete paint for sale at Fat Buddha I thought it was definitely worth a shot. Over the past week I have been trying to perfect the paint finish on my 7.5J A types. If any area was not to my satisfaction I gently sanded it and then gave that area another coat of paint. Both A types are pretty much done now, the one on the right could do with a little more work but I ran out of paint. Here are the results so far.
I really like how the red on the centre cap is a contrast to the concrete and black colour. I quite fancy the items shown in the photos below. Black cone centre caps and gold valves.
I will have to get in touch with Tetsuya Garage and Rod to order me some.
I also sprayed one of my B types and A types with primer.
I took the other A and B type to a wheel specialist today to get repaired. The A type has a flat spot and the lip is scored, whereas the B type has a slight ding in the outer lip so I guess it has been curbed at some point.
The Corn*s exhaust is also being repaired too as the exhaust hanger sheared off in August 2010.
I have asked the machine shop to reinforce the hanger like Corn*s do on the titanium version of my exhaust.
By having an additional piece of metal from the tail pipe welded onto the exhaust hanger this shouldn't break again. I should have the wheels and exhaust back mid week.
