You are the king of restores Rob! Another tatty fitting restored to 'as new' condition. I'm a bit crap at restores and most of my efforts lead to disappointment.

Thanks guys! Very Happy

. A lot of it comes down to patience and following some rules like keeping everything free from dust and building up the coats of paint in thin layers to avoid runs. I also have to be in the right mood to carry out these restorations, some of them have taken months as there are sometimes periods when I know I won't have the patience.
