Looks ok for first attempt :thumbup: The O/U (or maybe both ?) pattern could do with more contrast to my eyes and they're both a bit "shiny" ?? (Ooh, shiny ) maybe give them a rub with fine wire wool or scotch bright to dull them down a bit ??

Yes i know what you mean about the contrast :thumbup: , the good thing is at only £7 a tin i dont mind going over it two or three times :lol: , good idea with the scotch bright mate i will give that a go.
