erm.... no thanks Ronnie
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 i can now see why spraying or powder coating seems like a nicer option i feel like i,m painting the Humber bridge andy

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.

When thats all done I've a garage full of home made "bits" that need painting. Electric orange though, hope thats not a problem.  Edit: There's a little airbrushed sign on my garage wall saying " I hate paint" so I can relate to your feeling Andy. Last edited by Land Locked : 18th August 2009 at 11:39 PM.
