Thread: Shorty - my 1952 80' Series 1

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



Very light first coat - shall rub them down tomorrow (pm) and then go again

Looking good Troy, keep up the good work mate. Cant wait to see it when its all bolted back together.

Hi Troy
looking good
keep up the good work
nice green
cheers
Ian

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.....

G,day Troy,
Thats looking very nice.keep up the good work.
I have the seat brackets and two seat backs,also one d type,
I,ll send them down when i get back from Corowa.

Regards
Justin.

Thanks Justin. Let me know what you want for them. I shall pm you with my address etc.

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
