Its all about contrast

Looks amazing, you obviously have too much time on your hands! 

Only took about an hour to remove the original paint and leave satin finish on the bits left bare (in front of the tv) few mins flating the other paint for a key for the new paint, five coats of paint in between polishing the swingarm, 15 min's in the oven to cure the paint, another half hour in front of the TV removing the paint again.

Bit more time with some wire wool/ wet and dry and I'll be happy with it.

Keeps me out of the pub
