Do you ever stop??! Lol
Only problem is now is, I haven't got an allen key big enough to tighten them up properly :doh:

Why the Allen key style bolts? Donyou normally use them throughout your rebuilds? I have always found that they get full of crap and become a bugger to get off.
His trucks go nowhere after a rebuild so they stay fresh forever hehe
Use a hex head bolt with two nuts locked together on the thread - the head of the bolt becomes the Allen key and the nuts mean you can turn it with a spanner.
Great work by the way. Seeing your progress regularly spurs me on to crack on with mine
I was like that with the primer and the paint wishing it would dry before some dust or insect would ruin it.
You need to get a couple of space heaters, that should do the trick.?
My god it's empty!!!!! well almost
The primer doesn't look to have taken to badly to bulkhead. Now we definitely sorted on colour.?!
Great thread this I've been avidly followingWell the good news is the primer turned out ok
So at least I know the paint stands a fighting chance but we'll see tomorrow.

So went to Asda to get as many mixing jugs a possible (emptied the shelf)
Woman serving must have thought I was mad
But at 35p each I just treat them as disposable.

Is the primer 2k if so have you used the hardener
Tell me about it I did tell you I had a massive clear out.
Although in fairness I've just moved some of it to the other shed so I can paint a few bits in here.
Primmer is bob on, no problems their.
Colour was chosen a while back after much debating came in about 40 minutes ago from last coat of paint.
Think I may have laid the last coat on too heavy and got a slight sag
First time for everything I suppose, bloody cold weather
Will flat it out if need be, or hopefully it isn't in a noticeable place.
Thanks
Yep, I use 2k, epoxy for the bare metal bits, then high build over the rest.
Oh and yes I've used the hardener
You mean you didn't changer your mind at the last minute.?! even if you have to flatten it back somewhat, you'll have a good base coat. Yeah it's not the best temperatures to be painting in, although I'm sure you'll be ok as long there's little damp or condensation in there.
Sorry meant to say did you use extra hardener to make it cure faster
Nope Not mine so not really a hard choice, just asked brother what he wanted, all I can do is advise.
And no it really isn't ideal, but I'm inpatient and want to get it done or I'm at a standstill.
Cold metal is a pig to paint, and I've found that even when I'm just brush painting stuff.
Hopefully it'll come out ok, I'm not a professional painter and don't know the ins and outs of painting in cold weather or what it causes so all I can do is see how it goes.
The only thing I know is it takes longer to dry.
It looked good to be fair, but will know more tomorrow.
I'll re-do it in summer if need be, or the bits I have done.
Ah, erm... in the primer yes slightly more, in the paint today no.
Have you done this before then? and how much more should I add, not used to this painting in the cold lark.
No I'm no expert ,I'm like you paint my own stuff and learn something new all the time noticed if I've used more hardener use time is shorter so goes off fasterNope Not mine so not really a hard choice, just asked brother what he wanted, all I can do is advise.
