Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

[Cruz]

Pre-easter painting cancelled due to the return of winter

Same here

[CovKid]

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.

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

I have just stumbled across a marvelous website that describes the processes involved in polishing and your car to get the best finish It is very thorough but contains invakuable tips for the complete novice like me

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.

Got to be worth the extra couple of bob IMO.

[Cyrus]

had a go at rollering today.




Only one side done but I'm well happy with the result, a few runs and ill tidy up the Matt black area later.

Cheers cov you've been an inspiration.

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.

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
