Great work Dunga. Nice looking rig too ;)

I didn't say it was better in the bottom, I just said it was easier and quicker.

Dan i use an old cheap spray gun for the bigger jobs,no need for anything fancy and i hand brush the smaller ones,i used bee's wax leather polish for the raw look on the bench top it brings any wood up real nice and gives it a good seal

I have a white bar too.
Used black 50mm wide duct tape on the back of the bar.
Thought I would use it as temporary until I worked out what area needed doing, but it is working well, so leaving it on.

Love the canopy mate 8-)

I am trying to do something similar with steel, until I worked out a purchase list and calculated the weight :oops:
Plan B is aluminium, but won't be anywhere near as complex as you have built...

What does yours weigh with the solid roof and front ?
