It's the only stage I've never attempted on any vehicle but after seeing what you've achieved then I might have a go with a few panels here and there. Being a mechanic i always do my own oily bits, so it would be nice to complete the job at home.
Yeah, It's a nice feeling to know that I've done every single thing to my vehicle without paying someone else.
I did my apprenticeship as a mechanic. But being a young and dumb things went up **** creak and never finished my level 3 so that was the end of that. But it means I've got a good understanding of most things and will give anything a bash.
That includes painting. Seriously give it ago you wont regret it, I know I don't and better than the old roller and brush I used to use.
I've had a few people pm me asking for advice on paint so I must be doing something right
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo don't go black on top there's too many around now and they're starting to look pants, your typical Chav wagon!
On the plus side, it's looking spot on mate, an outstanding job.
Yeah but, No but....
Now the spats are gloss black I think it'd go quite well.
Not sure in all honesty.
Just skimmed through the whole thread - nice job matey well done that's a tidy machine!
Still got one of those gay stickers in the window though lol!
Cheers
Said gay sticker will be removed eventually
Just read through the whole thread. Loving your work. Totaly impressed.
With that blue you could go for just about any colour roof. Whites clasic but standard, silver would be passable and a bit different. But your chequer palte is already gloss black, so gloss black it should be.
Keep up the good work. Good luck on the job front. Anyone who can strip down a car to its componets and re build it to such a high spec has the nous and the gumption required by any and every business. don't be putting yerself down again mate.
Cheers mate, Thankyou for taking the time to read
.
I did think about dark grey. But I know black is going to suit it. So don't think it's worth the risk.
Good look on the job front, Yeah I'm going to need it
I sometimes wish I could change who I am. As is I probably have zero chance of a job.
Going for any interview is going to end in disaster. Why 'cos I'm a c*nt, Or should I say I come across as one. I don't mean to be but I do, I can be very brash and blurt stuff out.
My other problem is telling people what I think. Which they tend not to like. Which is probably why some people don't like me. Like when working on site for example.
I was lucky that my current job came though a friend so obviously no interview :lol: He kind of understands me so I'm left to do what I do on my own.
Again I'm lucky that I've been doing it for 3 years ish when it was meant to be a couple of months to get him out of the ****.
But I suppose when I'm on not much more than minimum wage and can be left to do most things on my own he's going to keep me. But I'm grateful for the job as I had been out of work 18months when I got it and as above I'm not going to get another else where.
I could go on forever so sorry for the rant
