bellicose

This is a coffee table i did, it's black COB. Would be very hard to get a reflection like that from 2pack.

Yeah mate, don't be tempted to sand by hand, block everything. It's a PITA but the result is noticable lol. PM me if ya get stuck with anything.

I see stripes in ya picture

Mike, no the primer does not have to be baked, in fact 2 pack paint does not HAVE to be baked despite what people will tell you. 2 pack relies on a chemical process to dry hence the hardener. I use 2 pack primers because of the afore mentioned reasons, but i use basecoat/clearcoat for the colours no matter weather solid/metallic/pearl colour. 2 pack paints don't give you the finish of COB (clear over base) and always look dull compared with COB when side by side. PS: 2K is a brand name and not an all encommpasing name for 2 pack products.

Pedantic much Nick? lol.

Use a 2pack primer no matter what is used for topcoat. This will ensure NO sinkback/shrinking of repaired areas, especially since you want it black. Trailer car down to me Mike, will beat any quotes you get by far.

The 'fabric in a can' always looks stripey to me. I buy fabric dye in 1-4lt tins and use a spray gun with the fan wide open, no more stripes.........yes i know not everyone has a compressor and sprayguns lol.

Yeah Mark, i guess i worded that wrong. Guess my point is i don't like to see young people get into a job/career only because it was a job at the time. I know bartending can lead to bar manageing which could lead to bar ownership, but i think alot of people get into tending bar because it's relatively(sp?) easy to get into. I also have strong views on uni' too but that's a whole other topic lol. I guess that isn't any better wording than before but i know what i mean lMAO.

Yeah because that's a real 'get ahead' career choice. Anyway, what skills/qualifications(sp?) do you have Brook?

Look at some MK1 Ford Escort rally forrest flares, look very similar and easier to get hold of.

The only decent flares for an E21 IMO lol.

Hi all, i know this is a bimmer forum but ya never know lol. I need an alternator for my poor little starlet, it's an EP71 with a 1E motor (1000cc big block lol) An alternator off a 2E will also work, so if anyone can help me out it would be appreciated. Will pay with cash or beer or airbrush work lol.

Redtube LMFAO.........sh*t ummm i have no idea what that is.

Don't stress it John, since you live in the "Badlands" they have other things to worry 'bout besides your little white ass lol.

Well i for one won't call ya an idiot, seems ya suckin' it up and facing what's coming. PS; I thought the mods were s'posed to be the mature ones on this board hmmm.

'That big f**ker on the door that chucks ya when ya bein' a cock' LMAO

Lmao at Firecats, worked at Firecats in Napier for years and the odd night in H town. You know why we called the strippers 'cockroaches'? Because they spend their life crawlin' 'round on the floor in the dark.

Grant, try Bigpond tv, go to V8 tv on the site and you should be able to watch the whole thing live.

Doesn't Speedvision still run it over there Grant?

Painted mine, mask/sand/paint. Just used automotive basecoat, same as the wheels. Looks far better black.

Fish n' chips or Indian, that is all lol.

Just watched it, that's funny as f**k. Mate printed 'bout 50 of them so i guess some of them made there way back the next year LMFAO

LMFAO i was there that year, was living in Brisbane at the time. After the race when we got home a mate of mine made up some singlets with screenprinting on them saying: I'm an a**hole (front) Jimmy Richards said so (back) Still got it somewhere, will have to see if i can find it lol.

I kinda lost interest when the Australians threw their toys out of the cot and banned any real competition, ie: Seirra Cosworths, Skylines, M3s.
