    Weather or not

    Troy
    The truth is Wayne must have been underground, and there would have been a echo, or time delay.
    Or I may have been a little tried from working on my Landies.
    can not think of any thing else.
    cheers

    Ian - I wouldn't have though anything different (spray putty is my friend).

    Wayne - I have replied to your pm. Are you coming thru this way in your end-of-year travels??

    Am just loving the 'spray putty' - seems that even I can get the guards to look straight (er).

    Hopefully by the next go they will be almost right

    Righto - back into it...

    Guards

    Hi Troy
    Looking good
    use spay putty over all the guards it will cover other dings.
    when you are getting near the end remember to dust it with a black coat to show high and low spots
    another little tip
    blunt a 3/16 th drill bit and slowly drill out the bog in your spot welds before you put your final prime coat
    cheers
    Ian

    Thanks Ian.

    I have given them both another decent coat on the patches and shall get the ech-primer back on them over the weekend to ensure all the alloy that is now showing is covered. Then I will apply the spray bog to the whole lot.

    I suppose you will expect that these things shine when I am finished

    Yes Troy,
    Shine like a beacon to the lost(landcruiser drivers that is).

    Keep up the good work.

    Guards are now drying (again) . I have put enough putty around the things for them to look like they belong on the car, so I sprayed them with ech primer this arvo.
    During the week I will spray putty the whole guards and sand them back nice in prep for the green stuff to go on - Thats as long as I dont knock them around in the meantime

    So much for doing anything on Shorty this last week I have been too busy at work to get anything done and to top it off - we went to Melbourne Friday (really - that was for a 40th B/Day so all was good )

    All I have managed to get done (as I now feel sober enough to go into the shed ) was sand back some putty along the tub and apply a bit more . That's gonna have to do it for a while; well at least until I find some time during the week
