The Car Thread

Yus, lacquer generally will sit on anything. Keeping it on there is the harder part.

The 'softness' of the basecoat is to allow the solvent/thinners in the lacquer to soak into the basecoat to allow it to grip, then the following coats can do the same in the previous coats.

What the f**k are you going on about?!

I'm selling my number plate...haha. £450 would buy you the wheels though?

My bad I thought you meant the whole car which is why I was surprised.

Is the fact I've been in a car for 15 hours straight an acceptable excuse for this moronic mistake?

Just been on Briskoda and someone made a thread about their turbo dying and posted this video of it.

I can't stop laughing at the noise it's making. It reminds me of those screaming goats.

Someone thought the thread was a joke and the guy was screaming in the background haha

Wheels came out a treat, used your technique @tom booth thank you very much! I need to find some balls to start flatting them and polishing them up but I think i'll leave it for now haha

Really pleased with them for a rattle can job. I don't expect them to last forever / be super durable but they've got to be better than this...

Then got some paint stripper to attack my centre caps. It's working really well i'm impressed so far.
