Shiny!
Must do something with mine, but not sure whether to paint or polish. Any idea if / how long it will stay like that with constant exposure to night temps?

Polishing will last longer than paint but you mite get the discolouring of the metal when polished.
Looks brill top job

I tried to polish a turd once, but I found you cant get a good grip. the turd I had, had a texture like leather soft but firm at the same time but like a bar of soap in the shower it keep'd shooting through my fingers when I was trying to put the rotary polisher on it.
P.s I recommend wearing googles when using a rotary polisher as little bits want to flick into your eyes.
