Skippy

[Patton]

The curry has made a great improvement and the toilet roll is in the fridge, PAT

[Roadster]

Pat How are you?
Is Skippy in the paint shop yet?

[Patton]

Hi, just a bit of a delay on the paint, now second week of Jan there'll be a truck in for spraying so not enough room for Skippy, back at work and really hit the ground running got a smaller area but more work and trying to get defect list done, cheers PAT

[Patton]

Hi all, considering spraying Skippy myself I was wondering about the temp in my garage how that might affect the paint it won't be two pack it'll be sellyersole, think I'm over the shock of getting back to work after 3 months off and a stinking cold, cheers PAT

If you're going to seriously consider doing it yourself, let me have a dig around in the garage as i'm sure i have an old paint spraying compressor somewhere. If i can find it and it's still working, i'll connector it through the pressure regulator and see if it would be suitable.

If it is working and suitable then you're more than welcome to scrounge it for as long as it takes to Paint Skippy

[Patton]

Dave, that would be great a case of have a bash without to much outlay Just some paint, thankyou very much, Pat

[Roadster]

its got to be worth a go Pat as long as you dont short cut the preperation it will look fine
You are only spraying a plain colour and yellow doesnt show too many errors and you can use green vinyl for the stripes -- sorted

Good luck - i look forward to seeing Skippy painted

[Patton]

Bit of a bugger I,ve said I'd work over the xmas break to help pay for the paint job could have used the time for preping, oh well got some thing to do xmas day now then and boxing day to work off the over indulgence sanding and sanding and sanding

[Roadster]

if you were closer Pat i would have come and helped
I am intending to work on the roadster over christmas but thats only going to happen if it warms up a little - its hard when theres ice on the body your trying to prep

hi pat if you need i can lend u a space heater, but temp wise dosnt matter for primmer so much, just keep water out the system. there`s nuagane paints on ebay, that do celley paint cheap to £69. a gallon, and i got a spare tin panel wipe if ya need...

[davecymru]

they're who i got mine from! i gave them a call to discuss the colour i wanted as it wasn't listed on e-bay and i found them very useful and knowledgeable and helpful!

[Mister Towed]

Erm, a link would be useful as I got no results for 'celley' or 'nuagane' on ebay, while searching 'car paint' got me about 11,000 hits.

My preferred choice atm is going to be:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2804287885...84.m1423.l2649

They also do five litre tins in any colour for less than eighty quid delivered, which looks like pretty good vfm to me.

[Patton]

Thanks guys, at the mo it's almost balmy in Devun some days but breezzey, PAT

Thanks DC, looks like pretty good value.

[Patton]

[Patton]

Dave did you find the spraying bits and bobs, I got an electric random orbital sander from santa, I'm making a start now I off call and playing catch up at work, thanks Pat

[davecymru]

I'll check this morning and let you know, would have checked sooner but christmas and a broken starter motor got in the way :-)

[davecymru]

Pat, i'll drop you a PM about the compressor in a mo.
