Many thanks for posting that dacs. Pleased to see they look okay and cover the matrix on that type too. Quite a different appearance though. The guards seem to need a black background to set the shiny off?
The end covers on my cooler were scruffy and didn't really paint very well, so I very carefully covered them with aluminium foil tape of the type supplied with foil backed insulation sheets to continue the vapour barrier on the joins of the sheets. (Available from reputable builders merchants.) We used to use this to cover model planes to get a metal finish, then lightly score in panel lines and rivets, but it's a black art to get it on wrinkle free. The beauty is that it polishes up like ali. because it is ali!

Thanks for all your orders guys... It's off the post office with a pannier full of cooler guards tomorrow..
