Must say for someone who has not sprayed before you are doing a bloody decent job, like the way your garage is always tidy, painting is a messy job. How do you manage to do this type of work in a complex? must have good neighbours

This is one of my favourite threads. who does your powder coating by the way and how are their prices?
Cheers

THANKS ANT! I KNOW AS I HAVE TO CLEAN THE WHOLE GARAGE BEFORE
& AFTER I PAINT SO ITS A BEAACH SOMETIMES.
MY COMPLEX IS RELAXED, LUCKALLY IM IN THE FAR CORNER & NO ONE IS
RIGHT UP AGAINST ME SO THAT HELPS!
I TAKE MY POWDER COATING TO PRO COAT IN HONEYDEW, THEY DO A
DECENT JOB & THEY DONT PRICE TO BAD, ALL THE POWDERCOATED
STUFF IN MY LAST POST COST LIKE R550.00 WHICH AINT BAD I THINK!
UNFORTUNATELY MY TREAD IS GOING TO BE A BIT QUIET AS I MOVED
TO A NEW HOUSE SO JUST BARE WITH ME, ILL MAKE SOME PROGRESS & POST WHEN I CAN.
AT THE MOMENT IM JUST SETTLING IN, PUTTING UP GATES FOR MY
PITT BULLS & SORTING THE GARAGE. I WILL ADD, MY NEW GARAGE WILL
HAVE A STOCKED BAR FRIDGE, SO WHEN ALL IS SORTED IM LIVING THERE TILL THE CAR IS DONE!

Thanks, I will check them out as they are just up the road from me, all the best with the house, much better than in a complex.

FINNISHED SETTING UP MY NEW GARAGE. WILL MAKE SOME PROGRESS SOON.
JUST A QUICK GENERAL QUESTION.... THE INTERIOR TRIM PIECES, SHOULD I COVER IT WITH SUADE OR CARBON FIBRE? WHAT YOU GUYS THINK?

DriftZ · Post by **DriftZ** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:09 am

depends on what you want to use the car for.

ITS A FULL ON DRIFT CAR, BUT SOME OF THE PLASTIC TRIM PIECES ARE GOING BACK BUT IT LOOKS UGLY SO I WANT TO RECOVER IT.

DriftZ · Post by **DriftZ** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:34 am

well then go with easy to wipe / clean surfaces. Although i think your car's going to be to pretty to drift.. IMO

Lindt · Post by **Lindt** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:41 pm

carbon fiber, it'll suite the "race car" theme.
