looking good

[Petrol]

Agreed, looking good. Where do you get your poly discs from? They look the dogs for stripping paint.

Pete, any good engineering merchants should stock them.

I can see the shine already!

 

In what direction did you spray the roof?

 

I know when doing the sides you go left to right horizontally or visa versa, but with the roof do you do from back to front or side to side.

 

haha if that makes sense!

[black olive]

I went round the gutters with the spray pointing downwards, and just a nip on the paint flow screw, then upped the flow a bit and did round the outsides, then with more flow went front to back then back to front working towards the middle, then zipped round the the other side of the car and in the same fashion back to the side. it seriously ws too hot though really, it is a bit lemon peely, but ive made sure there is a good thickness for a flat and compound . hope this helps, not the easiest to put into words !

[SAL 821X]

Fantastic cheers fella.

 

Printed out and put in my "this is how you spray" folder for future reference.

another 10 hours has seen the bonnet crossmember repaired, and both sides high build primered :))
