you're right about the bottom edge not being very straght, but for a first attempt i'm fairly pleased. When I get some time i'll have a go at sorting it out. here's some more pics of the progress:

original steel wheel condition


then after being sprayed silver



Here is one on the car. I got some ford badges from ebay for the centres as one of the original silver ones was missing and I couldn't get a direct replacement, so I went for some blue ones and I think they look great



One with the bumper finally back on



I got some laquer on the bonnet today too, but could do with another coat I think.
