benpedder Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) things on my car: clarion headunit two sony 6x9 a set of "jelly bean" mags, :yes: sports exhaust, i think. 4k engine 4 speed not sure what else. :D Edited July 2, 2008 by benpedder Quote
Taz_Rx Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 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 Quote

Johno Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 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? Quote

Johno Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 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 Quote

Doogs Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 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. Quote
Johno Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited July 3, 2008 by Johno Quote

They stressed the importance of keeping the panels warm. Quote
