Im am now fricked off big time!!!

i just want to

Its all gone Pete Tong big time!

The main colour for the front end is being a right pain!! £86 a ltr, was told 1 ltr = 10squear mtrs! does it frick!!!!
As it is quite a bright colour

it has to go over a white base but we just cant get it on with out patches

so i think i just waisted over £160 on paint

we are going to think about it and have a go again tomorow!
I think ill be hung over for that thogh

I might put a few pics up later when iv calmed down a bit and iv had a few drinks!

We tried! it should be mixed up like normal base cote

Its spose to go on ubber fin but we just cant get it right! its not far off now, but by the time we kind of got it figerd we didnt have enough to do the job

We have used half a ltr on just the front bumper and we wer hoping to do the bonnet, bumper, front wings and wheels with it! As 10squear mtrs would cover that! I mesured

Danny that dont help

But its true i know

Polo · 13-10-2007, 22:20

some pics!
befor last night.
Prep, repairs, flatting, test fitting etc

Wheels

Preped

Under cote

And the patchyness!!! the pics hide it really! and the green looks totally differant in the pics! its a bout 100 time brighter in the flesh!!! loads brighter than Kawasaki green, almost toxic looking!
Im not giving any thing else away!

kam · 13-10-2007, 22:32

Good prepwork, bet you were high as a kite in there!!

You done paint work before? Did you do it yourself?

Iv never painted befor, no

A mate has been helping me with that, he showed me how it needed to be preped, so i done all that, we both masked it and he is doing the spraying, i havnt got the pations for that shiz! Im mixing the paint, filling the gun, pointing out missed bits a making tea when all the paints going on

Get your money out then!!!

Plus, wheels would be the wors thing to do in this colour!!!! even a flat serface is a bitch to do right!!!

i think on wheels it would be near imposable to get it with out patches, unless you piled on loads but then it darkens up! (Note, i know frick all about painting)

**Mitch** · 13-10-2007, 23:11

Paul, WTF is that colour??????

You know in the Simpsons when that glow stick thingy lands on Homer back, its just like that! you open the tin and you need a welding mask

I MUST STRESS THAT IT LOOKS SO DIFFERANT IN THE FLESH!!
