How much paint.

[StanTheMan]

How much paint do I need to paint Patchy.
2L ?
2.5L?

Does anyone have contacts they are willing to share for good quality Acrylic paint. Classic Red.

Is there paint. And is there better paint. Is theree such a thing as 1 brand being better than another? Unfortunatley 2 pac is out of the question.

Pity I don't live closer, i'd be keen to help you repaint/sand patchy.

Be nice to see Patchy return to her former glory.

[StanTheMan]

Sorted.....On my way to pick up some paint.

[StanTheMan]

Yea It may not be for some time yet.....there is still a heap of work to do.
but at least if I have the paint staring at me I will not keep spending money on other things & will also keep me motivated to get this complete

Why not paint Patchy another colour?
Or are you 100% happy with Classic Red Stan?

I've thought about this often. If ever it gets sold ( not that is is on the cards in the near future) It will be original colour.


Classic Red it is.

What happened to yellow?

Photo chop is very cheap. But not permanent.

I thought about the boat paint long & hard and very often. I'm sure its just as much work either way. I decided I was more comfortable with the traditional way of doing it. I did also admire Steve 808's effort.

Why is 2 Pack out of the question? you could hire a spray booth, and oven for a couple hours quite easily.

[StanTheMan]

I couln't find anyone who is willing to rent a booth out

What Stan said - Brisbane and Melbourne both have booths for hire, but sadly Sydney doesn't as far as I can work out. I'm guessing it would have a lot to do with Workcover OH&S rules - having someone 'unqualified' using your equipment leaves the owner very exposed if something goes wrong.
