101 now painted
tomarse:
Nice one! :D
You need to paint the wheels too though! - theyre letting it down!
Did you do any/much surface prep before painting? and what sort of paint did you use?
thermidorthelobster:
I used spirit and xylene based vehicle paints from The Paint Man (Bill, the guy who does a lot of the shows). Preparation involved a good clean down with the jetwasher, although I did prime a couple of areas where the original paint was flaking off. (The idea of sanding it all down to the bare metal was not very appealing...)
The finish with the roller was OK, but the finish with the brush is not exactly showroom. However, it's not the kind of vehicle where I'm really too worried about a couple of runs here and there.
The wheels will be painted as soon as I can stop the hubs leaking for long enough. I painted the front grille red last night, which looks good.
Damonski:
o.m.g. I am speechless. My favourite mud-club vehicle and been gaffiti'd on :'(
I guess its one mud-club member who none of us are going to drive past without knowing exactly who it was :)
I have to say tho, who's doing there's next ?
thermidorthelobster:
By the way, I should point out that the colour scheme was really down to Reaper's idea! So thanks, Reaper!
I can't wait to see what the 101 club think... The rivet counters will be sending me death threats :lol:
Wanderer:
I think you'll be banished to somewhere like Iceland when they see it David.
Now that's a reason to do it that way :)
I overheard a quite vociferous argument at one of the shows about Grumble and Tigger.
They'll see yours and have a dickey fit.
Someone's posted a link to a picture on UKLRO Wait for the flack :lol:
