Painting
Hi Troy
after weeks of work.
rubbing, priming, rubbing, priming, rubbing, priming etc etc etc etc etc
and bog, bog, bog, bog etc etc etc etc etc
you get the idea
you will then spend 10 mins painting and will be pleased with the finish
until you find the runs
you will be like every one else
you will try and rub then out long before they are dry
make a mess
wait and wait a little more
they will rub out with a little 600 W and D
then rub the finished job with 1200 W and D
until the orange peel is nice a flat
then out with the Cutting polish(Repo no 2)
then (Repo no1) polish polish polish etc etc etc
when finish sit down look at your handy work
have a beer or 2
cheers

Well people - today has been event full. First I come home and my little fella starts to walk. Not far ... but he walks :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
So I have a couple of tubes (as you do) and then decide to throw some green paint around ;)

Nothing done today (as I was painting bits of the house) but shall try to get some sanding done tomorrow and then a second coat. ;)
-
Have been too busy with other things and my time is not my own :(
But I do have a question - Do I respray a second coat now onto Shorty or do I sand back with 600 Wet'n Dry first. (That's right - a spray painting numpty) ;)
I know Ian - you shall be shaking your head and I am sure that you have already told me but "its best to be safe" - aint it.....

hi troy
yes mate
if you want a better finish rub it down with at a lest 600
water (thinners)your last coat with a wet coat more thinners
will give a shine off the gun
cut the air down
and pass the job a little slower so you put a wetter coat on
be careful with runs
put it on
do not dry and put more on
you will f......k up
it is a learning curve
try and try again
cheers
Ian

Painting has had to wait for "yet another" weekend as I have had other things to do. Olmate has had its head off and I am replacing the valve stem seals whilst every spare moment has been spent around the home. One good thing has come of it tho as I get to drive the ol'mans 80" until I get olmate back on the road :angel: - thinking of that ... it may take a while now ;)
