LOL!! Someone gave me a handy tip yesterday, he said I needed some thinners in the mix?



Did they also tell you how to use your knob properly as well??

I was recommended long cable ties, but jubilee clips can work OK too apparently!

"Theres no freaking way I'm gonna let anyone see how the paint job turned out, now I've actually taken Shiftys advice I'm gonna have another crack it. I hoped people would have forgotten about this thread and let me hide my mistakes quietly. "


Haha! :-

Went down to the garage again today, got another coat on. Its about as good as its gonna get I reckon. Nice shiny finish, but there is bits of crap in the paint in some places, but thats not due to the paint mix.

Will go down tomorrow and have another look, and get some pictures :mrcool:
