Mick-

I really like the look of black paneling and silver rivets. Gives it a stealthy, yet race car look. Are the panels painted, powdercoated or anodized?

Thanks
Bill

Bill I worn out my shoulder joints doing the panels. I made my own templates in cardboard hand cut bent and filed the panels retro fitted using cleco pins altered access points for piping, wirng etc(hard on the brain because I didnt want a mass of exposed piping and wiring)buffed all panels with scotchbrite pads and then had them powder coated and laid a adhesive plastic over to avoid scratching. Pretty easy really eh! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Oh yeh the rivets on the interior panelling are called cherry Aerospace rivets gold colour (Cad plated). All external rivets are self sealing stainless steel.
