Not with a camera shoved in the middle of me face i couldnt.

Took about 4 hours of constant wet n dry from 120 grit to 1200 grit an hour or so of surface prep on main wheel followed by 2 coats of paint and 1 coat of laquer.

I tried it basically coz i dont have 300 spare quid to hand having just bought a house total outlay = 59p per sheet of wet n dry 5 intotal and partly used and about 6pounds on paint, then will fit them and see if i should have paid the 300 after all.

Ty for the positive feedback, much appreciated.

I think they look spot on. If you had said they had been professionally refurbed I would have beleived you from that pic.
