Now I can get back to the Miglia.

Loogs like a good finish

I've never painted with cellulose before. I expected a dull finish that was going to need some buffing, but other than a few runs and a couple of areas of orange peel, it's came out well.

I used High Gloss thinners.

It looks good from the pics, you will find it dulls off over a short while, a wet flat with 1200 and a mop out will bring it up nicely though.

ooh, that does look good!

good job! its funny how a bit of fresh paint brings on the enthusiasm!

I've only ever painted with celly and never had a real problem getting a good finish off the gun - all down to the paint mix I think

Is that a penis on the rhs poking out from behind the green?

That pose was especially for you Nic

And, No, I did not touch a load of sandpaper. Sturgeo did most the prepping. I just managed and waved the spraygun.

Well if it was 2K you wouldnt be walking about the garage with those flip flops on for about 4 hours at least

Looks good though. Did the paint tin mnot come with volume control?

This is the reason we did not get to Avon this year:



The wife and I are off to France at the end of the week and Evo needs transport now he's back from Thailand.

I don't like the 13" wheel and sportspack look, but it has turned out OK.

MOT booked for the morning. Fingers crossed.
