MM77 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Does anybody else find spray painting incredibly addictive? I bought a few cans of Satin Black today to spray behind the grill of my Mk2. I did that then continued on to the bonnet. Then took the wheels off and will be doing them tomorrow. I spent the good part of an hour looking around the shed for things to paint
Retro-gone. Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 lol yeah, i started painting kids bikes at school in the 70,s earnt a forune for a 12 year old, 30 years later im paintin motorcycles.
Mr Sam Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 i had an evning of painting the other night carefully brush painted the rear beam with hammerite let it go off for an hour or so then decided to spray it too along with the steering rack and other oddments
Grizzley Dell Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 yeah when i get a can of satin black in my hands i cant put it down till its empty, prob is im normally half way through painting something so have to crack open another & so on. last time i got through 6 cans & i only wanted to paint a petrol tank on my gs550 rat. i now have 4 bikes completely satin black. oops
GT_lenny Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 when i was strippin the underseal off the 'tina i used some thinners on a rag, which had quite an effect on me , which was nice as it distracted from the mundane task at hand
Fiesta Steve Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Shot about 10 litres today and I can honestly say its not addictive
FredTransit Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Dunno if it helps, but the 99p shop (chain) has started selling matt black!
Grizzley Dell Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 Dunno if it helps, but the 99p shop (chain) has started selling matt black! yeah & its not bad either.
FredTransit Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 I feel like I just gave the name of a dealer out now
Grizzley Dell Posted December 9, 2009 Report Posted December 9, 2009 that wouldnt be good mate, he may sell out quicker what with shortages & xmas close
