that looks awesome mate. never seen one in that colour before, it really suits it. Why won`t the finish last?

Just need a CF Spark plug cover to complete the look

 

[Edd]

Looks sweet mate! nice one

 

[crxhugh]

yeah hopefully bens sorting that bit out!!

its white, an engine produces shit and i'm leeking a bit of oil, i tank around everywhere, i don't have splash guards, and its not gloss, its a rough finish so i won't be able to clean it, so it will get filthy very quick lol

but yeah it looks wicked, well glad i did it white!!

 

[Alec]

Yeah that won't last, but white looks awesome mate.

 

[Skinny]

go to any motor store and you can get high temp heavy gloss laquer, that way its fully wipeable and looks nice and shiny. looks awesome though mate.

 

[crxhugh]

believe me i tried, went to all the companiey in cov, well not all of them, but plenty, and no one had any decent paint appart from blakc or wrinkle black!! so i ordered this off the net, it does look mint tho. i will try to get some gloss and redo it wen this looks less impressive

 

[nickyboy]

white? i thought it was a very light mint green
oh well, i am colourblind after all :|]

 

[crxhugh]

hummmm yeah i can sort of see where you are comming from nicky, it was dark at that point so the quality was shit!! but i can assure you its white lol

 

[nickyboy]

well if you are going to do it again, i recommend light mint green 8-|

 

[Edd]

Nicky, thats what i might do with mine, white with red lettering

 

[Alec]

Wow that's a hella good paint job on that thing.

 

[crxhugh]

yeah alec i agree, i wouldn't be able to do that myself!! i havn't got the patience lol, but it does look good, appart from the grey SC

 

[stug45]

what are you doing tomorrow? want to do mine?

 

[crxhugh]

i'm printing my disertation, but its so easy i'll give you a hand!!
bring it to frank whittle and on your way buy sum nitro mors in the green tin, that removes the paint in 20mins

 

[stug45]

im pretty tempted to as well....but need to revise for exam on wed. last one too! Hopefully i dont have to go to work straight away on the thurs. Ive got vaseline to do the dohc vtec bits!!!

 

[crxhugh]

i used hair wax lol

 

[Jugga]

did you mask the letters off or sand them after?? just read what you said above doh!!

never realised that worked cheers

 

[Alec]

It's best to sand them off after on a block of wood. Get a much sharper cut between the paint and the metal.

 

[crxhugh]

yeah alec is right, however if you were a slap happy with the wax as me you'll have a slightly rough finish, also with white if i sanded them afterwards it would instantly make my rocker dirty, which would b very difficult to remove.
i spent about 20mins before praying sanding down and pollishing the letters bling bling lol
