a set of mags, (someone tell me what type they are :yes:)

 

Different people call them different things. I've got a couple of sets of similar wheels which I refer to as "Westerns".

 

Probably the most common name for them though is "Jelley Bean mags" because of the shame of the holes in them. :D

How is the painting going? Does it worry you that it's cold or do you have a heater in the garage for the paint?

hvnt got to painting atm still gotta sand the grill, and i got no sand paper atm :D might get some tomorrow after school

 

and what do you mean bout for the paint??

It's not a good idea to paint in temperatures below 20c and with it being winter it never seems to get any warmer than 14c, well thats what the weather here is in melbourne

the paint might dry flat (not shiny) and my also not bond to the surface very well and could flake or crows feet

oh, :D well what would you suggest? :yes:

A small heater in your shed, although you should not run it whilst painting as it

will raise the dust.

 

I was warned about this when I bought paints recently, for exactly the reasons johno has stated.

The paint shop suggested the use of general purpose thinners as opposed to 'fast' thinners as well

as keeping your shed + panels warm.

A heater, even if it's just a small one to take the chill off the air

DO NOT buy one like a gas heater unless you want to blow up

Fan one are not good ether coz it will blow too much shit around and land on your fresh paint

 

Get a oil fin heater and keep it on for days

That will dry out any moisture in the air and your car will heat up at room temp too

you don't want wam air and a cold car coz that would cause problems too

Cheers johno, will keep that in mind.

They stressed the importance of keeping the panels warm.
