Jones doing most important job of the day chief tube holder



Tee's First ever go with a compressor !!



needs rubbing down and laquering now 8)

 

ok rubbed n polished up now

 

Mint mate

Did you spray it yourself ? did you not mix the laquer into the paint ?

 

hey adam it was done by me and my mate he actualy did the spraying his first go too !! we both spent aboiut a month every sat and sun preping it up

no laquer mixed in we just rubbed the piant back and polished up a treat so left the laquer

 

Nice one mate

I hope to do this to mine when i get my compressor and paint spraying kit

Did you use wet'n'dry to rub it down ? what did you use to polish it up ?

 

i highly recommend once u painted it. to laquer it. it may be shiny now, wait till u stain it with a little oil or grime, u wont get off in a hurry, with laquer it wipes off alot easier and also protects the paint from the heat and grime

 

was realy expecting to laquer but its come up better than first expected realy so we decided to leave it

looks 10 times better than before so i am happy

Adam it was primered then rubbed back with sand paper (1200) then sprayed up and rubbed back very lightley wiv same (1200) then we used G3 and finally polish to get the shine back up and it looks spot on for our first go

 

looks good mate, being a paint sprayer by trade myself im impressed, just wish i had time to get mine done
