very smart. Must finish painting mine sometime.
Great job, awful color !
Peter R., applauding enthousiastically.
Roller ... Inch gloss ones, the paint is Autopaints synthetic and all told the paint (2 Litres of synth) 5 litres of cellulose thinners ( for cleaning) and 2 litres of primer cost me £47 :-)
Then it was just elbow grease , filler , more elbow grease, lots of hoovering (did it in the garage) and then the final application took around
5 hours for the visibile bits.. then about another 4 hours for the finer detail such as the cappings and gutter.... oh and tyre paint as I got carried away with the wheel spray.First time I've used a roller, can't recomend them enough...no brush strokes!

I know I use it as therapy but a 1 Inch roller wasn't in the deal ;-)
Lee D
You dont need a heater! :p
Yeah come to think of it if I get the Mrs and Kids to flat off the paintwork on the inside then I can do two jobs in one go...keep them warm and get the inside preped for the paint treatment :-)
