Thread: Paint

Well I whipped into aldi for some bananas for the kids .... no tressles here .... Why did I go in for bananas and walk out with 4 bottles of fully synthetic mower oil (50% discounted), a bottle of chain and bar oil .... and all sorts of other bizzare crap that has nothing to do with bananas. bloody aldi, they do it to me every time.

It was worth a try though. We used to always find old discounted kids stuff at the drysdale aldi store too (we have done the 3month spring season at the portarlington caravan park several times). Because the area has a lot of retirees, the kids stuff doesn't sell out at there aldi store.

well that is just amazing .... I don't quite understand this.









I don't get it ... other than the trash thats landed in this .... its bloody near perfect.... I just don't understand. I'll cut a ****load of corners ... around the washer jet holes on the bonnet, around under under the numberplate and its mounting holes.... There should be obvious signs of lack of prep ................ But look at it.... bloody amazing. The paint itself must have self levelled and removed quite a few marks. I really didn't do a very good job at prepping this as I figured its a 4wd ... and it just doesn't matter.

It looks great, so much for the **** box job - it will look bloody fantastic when it's all back together.

Well given I haven't painted the body yet .......... Maybe we'll dub it the shiny ****box You wait ... the chance of me bolting those panels back on without scratching them is one in a million ................ Infact I don't even know how to move them from the current spot in the shed without dropping them......

Aside from that, I have never painted a car that hasn't been damaged by someone within 3weeks of it being painted ( I **** you not ). EVERY SINGLE car I have painted has been seemingly deliberately damaged before it was even fully re-assembled again. The red car you see above .... someone kicked one of its front guards in before I'd even stuck the exterior trim back on (I was parked outside of a Mc Dog**** store). I recon someone fell off there skateboard and landed feet first into the front guard of the partially disassembled car

I decided years ago having a "nice" car is impossible. its just an exercise in futility. Even if you never drive it and keep it stored in a shed under a cover ......... Someone always drops something against them .... or drags something down the side ... or **something** happens.

Well I actually bought a couple of these things today because I knew I'd use them for something down the track.

Bit cheesy but with some 20 x 50mm speedbrace diagonals added to either side I'm happy.

You are welcome to borrow these and planks if you want, PM me a ph.number.

cheers, DL

Thanks! I'll see if I can work something out first. I don't really want to borrow stuff, especially when its going to come back covered in dust and overspray looking very "well used" Even the shed floor has taken on a blue tinge after painting those panels.
