Default Freshly painted 4 pots

Just thought i'd post some pics of this weekends project. I decided to get rid of the rubbish 2 pots on my RA,and fit 4 pots.The new 4 pots needed a good clean and a wire brushing to get rid of the rust,then a few coats of paint.
Befor:

After!



And all it cost was £10 in paint! (plus the brakes!!)

Trouble is the wheels hit them,so i need some spacers.

Thanks! The lettering just takes a bit of time with a small paint brush.I found the best way(for me) was to run a file over lettering once the red was dry,back to metal,then paint the white.The red was a bit to smooth for a good finish.
