You know you love it Andy :D :D

If I knew you liked painting, could have come down & painted mine :eek:

I'll give you a shout when mine is ready for it's final coat :D

HandyAndy 18th August 2009 01:36 PM

erm.... no thanks Ronnie :D

what i should,ve done is let my kids do it for me, they couldn,t get any more paint on themselves than i have:eek:

i can now see why spraying or powder coating seems like a nicer option:D

i feel like i,m painting the Humber bridge:eek:

i sprayed mine it was still a grind to do getting in and out of all the tight gaps. i made sure the paint i used was satin effect as from past experience it seems to touch up better than matt and gloss.

I'm using good old hammerite, wire brushing then painting in stages, I can totally relate to it feeling like it will never end.

hopefully mine will be all finished painted tomorrow, as i,ve roped in fellow forum member "Tatey" who,s coming down to help out :o
i,ve bought extra brushes & another tin of paint today :D :D

When thats all done I've a garage full of home made "bits" that need painting. Electric orange though, hope thats not a problem.:p

Edit: There's a little airbrushed sign on my garage wall saying " I hate paint" so I can relate to your feeling Andy.
