65 Split - mixing it up a bit

Always nice

 

How do you mask the top half? getting the line between the two colours.

 

I use a vinyl fine line tape made by 3M

You go round with this first, then mask halfway onto it with normal masking tape!!

 

Awesome, that makes sense. Good man, thanks

 

I bet your glad to be laying paint on paul

Last time i used upol high build primer i found it not only clogged the paper up quickly i found it also had a habbit of sinking over time

Needless to say i wont be using it again

 

its looking good 8)

 

thats looking fantistic paul, nice work

 

Cheers for all the comments guys!!

Well as I mentioned I spotted some grot in the rear arch when I was doing my final prep before etch and primer!! So I'm now ready to prep for top coat, I thought I'd best get it sorted... popped out and got a new bottle of gas... loads cheaper than BOC too

The grot in question...

It was hiding under some rubbery coating - could've been some seam sealer

Doesn't look too bad from the inside!!


Time to fire up the plasma


Pulled the whole lower section out, as it reduces the amount of welding!!


Just needs a tidy with the thin cutting disc now, then it's fabbing/welding time


I'll get that finished off in the morning now as I smoked the shed out cutting that with the plasma

 

lovely work Paul

 

Was that a previous bodge to the arch lip dude?

 

unfortunately so... all sorts of low standard repairs to this... I think it was a "do it cheap, max profit" job

 

So after welding up my old mans jeep for its mot, I managed to find some time to get the back arch welded up!!

Tidied up


Bit of fabbing 8)




Welding it in




Tidier than it looks... seam sealed after welding




More tomorrow

 

Notched up some more work on the van today... not at full speed as I'm nursing a cold

Painted the arch repair in some Acid 8 primer


Shall give this a coat of stone chip once the top coat is all done!!


One pic for salad.dodger...


All bagged up








Bottom half prepped for paint






A few thin spots, those'll get a bit of spot priming before top coat






A touch of top coating tomorrow then

 

I see, I see 8)

Have you a close up picture of the wall ? it looks like a work of art...

btw do not get spray on it... ;D

 

I don't think so... although you should see the outside... those stone masons had some skills when they built the building, some 150 years ago... there's no joints larger than 10mm on the whole outside of the building!!


I got some colour on the bottom half, although I'm not 100% happy with it, so I might DA it back once it's dry and give it another coat of paint!!

But here are some pics for your perusal 8)












Will have a closer look in the morning, and make a proper decision then
