Mike. Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I made both of my kick panels with 0.8mm sheet steel, drilled all holes and slots needed and got them powder coated black, then fitted the plastic service book holder on the passenger side one. Looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMc Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hi Wayne, I'm truly sorry to hear this. Family must always come first though, above absolutely everything. Fingers crossed, things work themselves out for you soon and you can find a way to keep the car you searched so long for. All the best matey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMc Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Spraying looks so easy as well doesn't it, which of course it is for the Pro's - but to us mere mortals/amateurs, its very tough to get right. Top man for even trying it matey! Just a though - something you could consider Wayne is lying them on their backs, so you have a much flatter surface to spray - would that help do you think? Good luck regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Good call on the lying wings flat lan. When we had a body shop that’s how they painted the wings (on proper frame) Sanded down the wings once flatted the paint not looking to bad on one ,some reaction on on the other wing Had to much paint coming though the gun. l think l have adjusted it correctly This is the first time l have painted using a spray gun in 35 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 You just know when you get a reaction it’s time to remove the paint one wing turn out ok ,that’s when l got the paint gun adjustment ok Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

H-400 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi Wayne, with some advice of the body-shop it will end up all nice. It is a chemical reaction of two different kinds of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
