thanks mate the upside is hopefully be putting an l67 in now.
i spent some time on the spacers...i gently sanded back the bumpy grain around the outside of the spacers that the machining process leave. i roughed up the tops and bottom with some emery paper then i taped up the tops and bottom with masking tape. used a high temp base coat gave it 2 coats of that then 2 coats of the high temp anodized candy apple red. yeah blue would look sick i tried to talk my mate into doing blue...they will last as long as you clean down the spacers prior to painting. when you buy the blue just get the same brand primer. ill be selling mine now but they've been good i rate em highly.
