My Ke20

[ke30dude]

dad sprayed this putty paint stuff onthe roof when he was fixing that, and heaps of overspray got on my windows :P

 

he says it will come off easy but will it?? haha

 

Yep use a rag wet with thinners and it should come off fairly easily.

[kryton brown]

If still no joy with the rag, use a new razor blade like the ones you put in scrapers and it'll come off.. it won't scratch the glass either.. :P

[benpedder]

cool as then, dads got a new pack of razorblades :P so if we have no thinners i shall get them onto it :D

[ke20rolla]

Exactly.

From what I understand a good paint job is all in the prep work.

Keep at it :P

[benpedder]

Is there any "trick" to seeing whether you have missed any parts. jsut from a quick look i can't see any more shiny bits but i don't want to paint it and then have the paint go gay and have to restart :P

[benpedder]

 

 

thought i might take some more photos. :D

as an excuse to drive from the shed to the front lawn :P

the bootlid problem :P

I'm a painter and i have to sand nearly everyday, Been doing it for just on 11 years now.

The finished product does come down to how much effort you put in on the prep.

 

With seeing if you have any misses, get a big 500w halogen flood light (you can buy them from the hardware store for about 15-20 bucks) Get it as close as you can to the body of the car and shine it down the side of the pannels. That way it will show you if there are anything you still need to sand (or fill)
