It was me who refurbed them. I lacquered them with a gun. Haven't a clue why it's imprinted.
It's asif the lacquer hadn't dried and he's had them on car a good 2 month. :/

It looks like the laquer wasn't dry enough I think they'd look great anthracite if you did your black bits the same colour

They weren't baked, thats what happens to paint when its left to cure naturally, its soft and imprintable. Baked paint will be hard as glass.
