    Re: I DID IT!

    This is pissing me off [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

    It's frikking sprinkling outside, which means I cannot get out there and recoat the body, and can't finish sanding down the next one on my list. It's not a heavy rain, it's just enough to screw up bare wood and any fresh paint. I've had the last 7 days off, and all I've managed to get done is a half-assed partial refin, and now with one last day off before going back to work, I'm at a point where I can finish one project and start on a new one, and it's fukkin raining [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

      Just put up page 2 of the Killer project, which is now officially dead.

      Once I get the other body sanded, I'll post about it.

          I can still do the top, and probably will redo the back, but probably not for another 2 weeks [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

            something to consider with rattle cans is that you shouldn't use them once they're 1/2 empty. the mixture is different, and it won't come out as evenly. so yeah, you have to buy twice as much.

              Unreliable weather is the reason I used my basement for my refin project a couple years ago. Of course, my lungs got several coats of color and clear gloss before I decided to use a respirator. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

              Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

                Regarding the drill/buffer... spend $25 or so at your local wal-mart and buy a high speed random orbital buffer. I have one, it works SO much better than even my $60 Craftsman buffer.

                I've owned 'drill buffers' before. All they seemed to do for me is leave circle scratches in the finish...

                  He Newc, i bought the same ebook as you, you said a couple of post back that you were not satisfied with the shine of the body. but reading the ebook i think that 'magic' happens in the buffing stage no ? with that 3m stuff taking the clear coat back and Then polish it up, or is that what you did ?

                  cheers, arno

                    Yeah I messed that part up - I only had maybe 4 thin coats of clear (probably TOO thin) plus I only waited 48 hours instead of the 2 months it says in the book, plus I didn't wetsand for the recommended/suggested time he says to - I gave it a few minutes with 320 and 400 grit paper, then jumped right on the 3M and 'tarded it up with the drill buffer [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                    Do it like it says in the book.

                    Thanks for the tip on the buffer Pete [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
