Yup, satin. I've got to put another coat on the cab yet & the bed's only brush painted scaffold planks, so not as smooth as it looks in the photos, but not too bad for a temporary fix.

Having laptop trouble at the moment, so can't access PhotoShop as normal to re-size my photos. So I've installed a re-sizing app' on my phone. Let's see if this works...
Yup, seems to.
Right. Running board/bed rubber beading fitted. This is a stainless channel with black rubber insert. Just to break up the blankness of the bed.
There's a black angle iron finishing strip to go across the back of the bed to straighten out or just hide the wobbly board ends, but it's at the powder coaters at the moment.

Once the tank's painted, there's a pair of black leather straps to go over the top of it, which fix to the cradle.

Paint colour match isn't perfect, but near enough.
The bed has to come off again now so I can paint the chassis underneath it.

Still got black mudguards to go on, as well as the numberplate, fog & reversing lights, but this is more or less the finished look for this year.
I quite like it.

I had a message on FaceBook yesterday from Neil Nettleingham -he's the guy I bought the Pop bodyshell from. He's now into VW Beetles but had seen photos of it on F/B & couldn't believe it was the same car, but really pleased it'd been used & wasn't just rotting away in a garden somewhere.

Songwriting? -Barry Manilow  Simon Pollock -"Nefarious Pinstriping". He's a mate & local & done a few bits for me in the past. He used to work from home, but now uses part of Jackhammer rod supply's premises in Farnborough, Hants. |

Looks like you should call it Mandy: "oh Mandy, you came and you gave without taking...." |
