The TA resto starts / updates 10/11/2013
« on: October 17, 2013, 07:58 PM »
I wanted a white TA to add to my line up, I was watching one on ebay that did 1800  :shocked: so when I wasnt looking this came up at a great price with poor chrome.













So after some messaging to  Dan ( you might have heard of him lol) the next option was a dechrome











I started to clean it up with just a scotch pad and it cleaned up with little effort  :4_17_5:

Take it to a chromer - they'll do it for you.  It doesn't cost much.

Obviously  ::) just wondered if maybe he'd done it himself and how.

I know that's why it's gone there, I normally spray them myself but to mask the garage out would take ages. My old garage . Just covered the walls in paint lol
