Thanks for the replies guys.

Sherav – the weight loss has been slow, steady & sensible. 50lbs in the last 15 months. Probably got another 25/30lbs to go. Thanks for the colour info too.

Outlaw – as it’s a lower back piece it won’t get much exposure to sunlight, except on holidays so it should be ok.

Butterfly_Kisses – how old are your pieces? are there any signs of the purple fading?

Thanks again all.
