Did you spray it in that pictured unit or somewhere else?
I think there was a rather nice looking spray booth in one of the older photos? - in the back corner of the unit?

Yes mate,thats right  :D


I sometimes spray out in the workshop,its weird as you dont get much dirt in the paint,the Mechanic nextdoor to me just had his van painted in an oven and there was more crap in his paint from a 30 -40 k oven!

keep on keeping on

Lol,this was the same mate,it had been painted over the top of the original factory paint and whoever did it had`nt prepared it properly,i had to go over every nook and cranny with 40 grit to get all the paint down to bare metal or else it reacted woth the primer coat,it was a real pain i can tell you!And people think this job is easy!!!

Yeah it aint easy …specially after a 14 year break an never havin used HVLP before  :lol:  not a bad job …few runs to flat tho lol…..couple of picks of her on the resto forum

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk….that'll teach you to shut up

Giving me back two 9 spokes does not allow you to keep my Ronal's…

Forgot to say mate, that paint looks alright, was it a 2" or 3" brush you used…  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

No it does look good mate, just hope mine looks as good. Now i'm off to find my 12lb sledge and get that roof sorted 'cos I don't want a leaking garage ruining things…

Oh and any joy on those floro yellow swatches?
