paint is by hammerite...

for barbecues!

good for 600 degrees C

but since doing them, i've been told that as they're aluminium, i should have etch-primed them. i did degrease them and scuff them up nicely!

we'll see...

should know in a couple of months or so!

that actually looks pretty cool. If you'd have told me I'd have said no but they look pretty cool. Black crackel finish would be good too.

you're not the only one! the old man thought i was mental, and if he knew how much they'd cost he'd have completely lost it.

still better of with these than standards.

alloy tanks aren't just for buftys
