I wonder if the louvres would look sweet in a slightly lighter colour? If you pain them separately in undercoat, can you pls post up a pic of what that looks like. Doesn't matter about the colour.

Wow, there's a bit more than what it first looks once the sand blaster gets going. How are you going to rebuild the lip?

I had an idea. There's a new welding wire called "aluma-steel welding rod". I thought of doing some high corrosive areas using aluminium instead of steel in the repair.
