Cheers mate, yeah it will dull of over time, but once you get the polish perfect with the right shine you want and no marks, you clear coat it with a decent clear and it will keep its shine for.heaps longer.

So I've finished the left hand side of the panel fab work I have been doing.

Just a few pics.

Welded in panel and also first coat of paint.

Also made the brackets up to hold right hand panel in place by bolts.

And both panels in with a lick of paint couple small things to do which is mount cruise control unit on left hand panel under brake master cylinder and run some rubber edge around left hand panel. Remount standard radiator overflow bottle and attach aftermarket window washer bottle on left hand panel where hole is.
