Thanks very much guys i agree completely , the hammered was advertised as a paint that masks imperfections , it didid okay and the paint went on very flat , i hit it with clear afterwards for extra protection

Did you find a set on eBay, or did you misplace them?
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

yeah, it's pricey, but  I would've paid that too...just for the sole fact of how hard they are to find now-a-days.
were they in the U.S.?...or were they in the Netherlands, or Sweden...or elsewhere over seas?
