Nice and grey




















Getting there now people


Fuck me tho, spraying in this heat is a bastard, the paint drys before it hits the car if the gun is too far away or not enough thinners are used


Still tho, not bad for a mornings work, and with only 1 run i'm a bit chuffed for the priming stages

I'm only doing the priming Steve, The topcoat I will leave for my trusty painter XR_Craig on here He is a painter by trade

However, If I wanted to, I'm sure I could get a good finish on the topcoat, but would rather Craig did it

Dont use more thinners, it'll dry quicker!


You need to be spraying about 22º + or - 5º, anything more and paint dries very quickly!, Trust me


If the paints going on dry Paul, put another coat on until it goes on wet

You'll only need to redo it in a year or so again...

Rad - The paint stayed nice and wet while I was doing it and the temp in the garage is 24 celcius, so not too bad then

Going to flat it all off tomorrow and give it another coat of primer too
