Centurion Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi Jack, Just thought I,d let you know. I was wondering wether to spray brush or roller my Jeep. Having seen your results I went for the roller and the finish is excellent and a lot easier than spraying. regards Centurion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cheap and very quick and would recommend to anyone 8) Cheers. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I am going to roller it as well, the thought of building a spray booth for one job! :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Bombini Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 When the time is right, I are going to paint my truck and jeep with an air paint spray gun as I have a couple of guns and there is a carport that my truck is parked under that will be easy to hang tarps from and make a paint booth out of. How do you like all of that sand from sandblasting different projects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 So, we remember this But have you seen this? :shock: Bloomin well nearly done :shock: just have to rewire the lights, fit a new exhaust and we are ready for the Gathering of Eagles. Here is what happened over Easter and it is now parked outside my office, wonderful to drive it again this morning 8) Oddball email over the stencils for me a part from the bonnet star as can't really print that off on the printer :cry: thanks for those Oddball 8) Home made star 8) . On it goes - very nerve racking time as it is a lot of work if you get it wrong :oops: kiddies said ' Mum, we keeping out of the way, Dad is stressing' :cry: turned out ok, a bit of over spray but I can live with that . Bonnet numbers. Kiddies birth years. Held down the stencils with bungy cord as well which helped to keep the stencil in place. . Tail gate, I have copied the details of a war time GMC apart from the 35 MPH, I didn't want to be over optimistic :wink: Now time to get out on the road and go for a run, to dry the paint off of course :wink: just love driving this thing. . Just a tip, don't use a cellulose primer on oil based paint :shock: .....it doesn't like :shock: :shock: :oops: :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Very nice, worth all the effort. But why do you have it marked up as an "Obsolete" vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Very nice, worth all the effort. But why do you have it marked up as an "Obsolete" vehicle? Thanks Colin. Just lifted it from the records, not to concerned at this point as to the local connection as I can sort this further down the road, if you excuse the pun.

Jack Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have just got to get a new headlamp bowl and rim and a few bits and pieces and then she is done. I have found out the problem with the brakes, looks like the front brake cyclinder is leaking 8) so I am pleased it wasn't to serious.
