They look sick!

How did you get them looking like this?

Thanks mate, it's taken a LOT of hard work to get them like this and in all honesty if I had to another set I'd probably get them powder-coated lol
I spent ages rubbing them down then used an aluminium based filler to loose the kerb and scuff marks. They then had 3 coats of Etch primer, then some flattening down then quite a few coats of satin black (forgotten just how many lol). So far they've now had 8 coats of lacquer which I'm happy with (the photo was taken at 5 coats).
I've just got to flatten them again now with some ultra fine wet and dry the polish them back up with G3.

All done with rattle cans as well......I don't do this professionally so to speak, I fit wooden floors and restore old floors for a living lol
