George's Cars

I just did a trace on my spray guns and they arrived in Ireland on Monday but are still waiting to clear customs, do they not know I’m waiting for them!!

Well after spending about 4 hours sanding down all the work I done, I was ready for stone chip again. This time i went with a different product and it worked perfectly.

Now I’m waiting for my new spray guns to come in from the states and I can top coat it and start the whole process again on the other side of the chassis. Thats why these things are called projects, they do take time!

Well i was right about the stone chip reacting. When I went back to look at it today it was all cracked looking. I don’t know if it was the stone chip or what was underneath it but it doesn’t matter its not right.

I now its an area of the car that will never been seen by anyone but me but I’ll know its there. So i have decided to sand it all down and apply another cooat of stone chip, a different brand this time. I’ll post pics when its down.

Hopefully this time it will work

Well tonight I finally started some work on the buggy. Not much mind you but some.

I wasn’t happy with the finish of the paint on the chassis so i decided that i was going to spray it again. Not knowing what was on it before I decided to give it a light sand and stone chip the underside of it first.

This is the result

However I am slightly worried about it, as i said I don’t know what it was painted with before and paints don’t like mixing. There is a little cracking effect in the paint but I dont know if this is normal with stone chip or not. Its a textured and rubberised paint and its the first time I have used it so its a little trial and error as I go along.

Worst case I’ll get the chassis sand blasted back to bare metal and start again! We’ll see how it dries overnight.
