cheers woody,will have a look into this later and where falcon shocks is located,will have to have the shock dismantled and coil spring sent back for repaint,having it painted with a new paint thats been developed locally,chrome coloured with a hint of black,really looks the part ive had engine casings done already,i think the paints intended for alluminium car wheels,when they get badly scuffed they polish scratches out of wheels and apply this chrome paint ,plain or with a hint of any colour you want,supposed to be really hard waring.cheers for info woody .
