Jack Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hold on a minute, that is my petrol cap and I won't have any thing said against it :twisted: I haven't polished it at all, it had about 1 foot of paint on it so I left paint stripper on it and when I washed it off, this was the result :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
