So today was the day, primer has cured nicely and the top coat was ready to go on.

I read the data sheet instructions and mix the paint 4:1 with the hardener, I then spend 20min adjusting the gun in every possible combination to get a nice consistent spray, could I do it? Could I Censored ! Now do I give up or crack on?


Time running out until I go and I have a full gun of paint,........ I'm going for it, paint coming out with a little orange peel effect but hopefully it will dry nicely.

So I get 3/4 of the chassis painted and run out of paint, mix myself a new batch exactly the same 4:1 ratio (doing this in paint pots so I know I'm doing it correctly) and what does this paint do first pull of the trigger? It comes out perfectly a nice steady coat, even and no orange peel effect Banging Head Banging Head so I finish it off and then go over a few areas to try and even out the coating, making sure I get a good amount of paint inside the outriggers and the rear crossmember. Fingers crossed it looks good once dry fully cure time is up to 7 days as I have used Jotun hardtop flexi a marine 2pac paint so hopefully this will last a long time.

Now you have read all that here's the pics you all want.

Nice easy job today, with the "holiday" looming and everyone back into work tomorrow the chassis needed to move.
So off to the little lock up I have with it, did manage to scratch it in a couple of places and noticed a few missed areas so a second coat will happen with the chassis hanging from a different angle to try and get the missed areas.

Here's the chassis in its new home, the last update I will do for a while Big Cry Big Cry

Back in again today and spent time turning a shinny bulkhead:

Into a not so shinny one:

This is from Ashtree, there are a few minor issues but nothing I can rectify, I have to say their service was very good and I was kept updated regularly even during their move.


Hopefully tomorrow I can start the painting process on a few bits. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

With my move fast approaching and still having to fit in some holidays in between I have managed to get a few bits done today.

Started to get the bulkhead painted with etch primer along with some suspension bits and the gearbox cross member.

So back off course for the weekend and managed to get a little bit more done on Maggie.

The main thing I wanted to do was finish off the primer on the bulkhead;

With that done I thought I'd spend a little time tarting up some of the engine ancillaries;

Once I finished the above I moved on to sorting out my garage ready for the move, how do you accumulate so much stuff whilst doing a project? How I'm going to move all this stuff I don't know but it will be interesting Rolling with laughter 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
