gricey you leech

actually i have a crater on my bonnet that looks like its a replica of the moon that needs sorting

yeah no probs always up for a pj

result what u charge mate ??

prob be £140 all in we use standox paints which are quiet expensive and it will be best part of a days work, do you already have a boot release motor?

sorry to hijack gricey!

can you do a bonnet respray mate? for a silver ibiza.

yeah, is it damaged or just needs painting? if you can put up a pic i can give you a price

its a bad stonechip mate, but you can see the layers of laquer i think (its not just a mark if you know what i mean)

ill try and get a pic up at some point!

thanks
simon

if its just stonechips then will be about £120 if i can get your colour in solvent basecoat or about £150 if i have to use waterbased

even though its quite a bad chip? that sounds pretty cool!! ill have to show you when you next come to a meet, as im not very clued up on all this so its hard for me to explain

thanks mate
simon

i dont have a boot release at present but i can soon aquire one lol 140 sounds good to me ill be in touch

i got one from ebay today, going to wire up tomorrow let you know how hard it is

do a guide include blood for bazza (but not too much)

done a few before so hopefully no blood, will put some picks up tomorrow

what nozzle setup you use for doing waterbased? isit harder to dry it out ? im strictly solvents atm! but i know the day will come.

1.3 sata 2000 digital, you think it takes longer but you only put 1 wet coat and drop a half coat straight over the top then it takes about 20 mins to flash off or about 10 mins with blowers, where a with solvent you got acouple of coats with 5 min between each so not take much difference.

aa right i see, ive herd some horror storys about it, if you laquer it to early, when it skins over, stops the water from evaporating? i take it you gotta buy some "speacial" water, whats it priced at?

yeah de-mineralised water you only add 10% unlike solvent at 2:1 its not cheap the 3.5l tins on the mixing sceme are £350 per tin (standox). its better than solvent in the fact that waterbase doesnt react with anything so no ringing around repairs, no silcones, fish eyes etc

ooo good point! so if your redoing some thing that was done round the back of halfords it would never pickle up, nicee i never thought of that. wow that is pricey but like you said 10% is nothing, i dont have a sceme get it orderd in, so i have half a million tins in the cubourd lol
they say all this waterbased is to save the enviroment, but you hardly get much overspray of the basecoat any way, isnt laquer whats tearing a hole in the ozone? lol

ware abouts is you work mate, ill have to come have a butchers 1day!

i know what you mean, its the wet on wet and the laquer with the iscocanates i bet half the thinners in the base has evaporated by the the time its hit filters, do you high solids laquer or ms

rarely do solids only on like old vans realy, just the ol basecoat n laquer mainly.

Hey fella.... welcome! sorry to jump on you!! but do you do custom bodywork i.e pulling and shaping wheel arches??
