Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!
You're all too keen
To be fair, April to May are generally the best months to prep and paint, even if not ideal in terms of time off. I'm rained off myself today so far but hey it might brighten up.

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!
I need to get it done for the end of the month when we head to Spain
All prepped, just the quicker and easier bit to do now....the painting
I'm wouldn't be confident of it not raining as soon as you slap some paint on Covkid

We've not had any rain, just cold and sunny but I haven't had the time to keep on prepping as its dark by the time I'm free. Roll on Friday!

Volkswagen L90D Pastel White from Avenue Coatings - excellent match!
You can order online - type 7300mc25 into the search box on the home page and it'll take you to the order page. Expensive though - £49.80 for 2.5 litres, free delivery. Took one week from order to delivery.

What was it before - any pics?
Just a note: The roller DVD is still being despatched over Easter but there will almost certainly be a delay until Royal Mail have caught up again. Apologies for this. There are two orders, one for Cheshire and the other for Rettendon on hold until then. They will go out as fast as practically possible.

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!
Nice result cliff.
The Weathers looking like rain all week! Sods law, I book a week off for Easter and it rains.
Still plenty of other jobs to keep me busy.

Hi all,
I appreciate rustoleum can go on to metal direct but has anyone used the primer is it worth bothering with and would it offer interim protection speaking as someone who s a good bit away from the final painting stage
