Tom,

I too, like the bare metal look. I had the AC 289 MK II FIA car in full polish finish (COB1001) shown at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1998 and at SAAC in 1999 (MIS) where some old chicken farmer came over and asked how to make a ally body shine like it did...."lotsa elbow grease we said"...............
