stop putting putty on it it will just get worse did you bar coat the repairs like i said a few weeks ago dont listen tto idiots who say if you rub through its no good thats bollocks its a water base sealer thats so it wont react with the substrate

Spent a few evenings working on this door ,after two attempts I pretty much bare metalled this doo, etch primed it, then three coats of primer, flatted it off, I shot the colour this morning and it looked pretty good ,been out the front working on bus and just come down the workshop for a brew and found this

Not sure if you can see what I can but its **** ,it's almost like a reaction but I tacked it and panel wiped it twice ,the panel was nice and warm ???? :roll:
Looks like I found out why poss, the boy was in the workshop working on his bike close to the door I painted ,he was spraying oil on his bike :roll: so this may be the reason .
 
That's crap luck, what he like at spraying? :lol: maybe he put it right for you?

Rite as some of you know I had a disaster in November with the storm, the gazebo came down and damaged the paint which I can't sort till it warms .well Lady Luck doesn't run with me and more damage was done over Xmas with flying fence panels. Anyway I've had the damaged door off and sorted it

Cheers for that, I still can't work out how to the pics rite on this I pad :lol: ime ok on the home pc
 
rite due to our super dry weather of late ive been confined to the workshop :) so got on with sorting through the three rotten westy windows i got my hands on ,when i say **** i mean they are ****


spent some time digging god knows how much mastic out :roll:

managed to get them all apart in the end and started polishing

 
after getting the rest of the windows apart i had problems with window regulators so had to drill all the pot rivets out ,i tried to find some replacements but no go so i had to good ones but both for the same side if that makes sence

took a while but swapt fittings and redrilled the winder hole but went back together ok
