It's the original red gel coat and it needs cutting back at least once a year to keep it red due to the degradation of the red pigment. The long term plan is to paint it.

That has to be the shiniest Midas I've ever seen. I wish I had the skills to paint mine like that - or the money to have someone else do it for me!
Incidentally, what's your registration? I can only make out "MIDA..." on the front plate, I'm curious to know what the full plate reads.

hahah yes after blocking it back then 2 layers of paint with clearcoat mixed thru it helped me get it that shiny 
thanks for the compliment!
The plate reads MIDAS I - reason being it was the first road registered midas in nz. i have being tryna decide on what to plate my new midas when it arrives in nz next month but havnt had any kick ass ideas so may go with the generic ones till i have a stroke of genoius.
