[Joe#]

Silly question haha

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

halfrauds it is tommorow then for some purple paint

 

[Joe#]

Good man

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

so i have finally got some colour onto the cover, did abit of black to break it all up as imo full purple is to OTT

and the purple ready to go on :rasp:

 

[Knuckles]

Aah I was going to say black with the inner dildo shaped thing on the right purple an the raised bit on the left purple

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Lol I am not painting those bits purple, f**king textured surface and it's a b**ch to paint right. Just did those in black so no fuss and the oil filler cap hole black so it can get oil on without spoiling the purple. Thiers method in the thinking .

The things I do when I get bord...... The blooming car will be purple inside every where next

 

[Knuckles]

Lol fair dos, carbon fibre details on it?

Get a replacement sticker from N2Grafix on here to finish it off too.

It's like a really rough dotted surface.

One step ahead already speaking to him, just need the messurements first

 

[Blacky950]

Hah awesome work

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

One thing thats worrying me, is the foam underneath for heat protection perposing or for noise dampening ? I have taken mine off but if it's important I will stick it back on

 

[Blacky950]

When mine was off I left the foam out and the plastic rattles on the engine.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

i might just devise a way of dampening the vibration from the engine, when it had the foam on it was rattling so i took the cover off, now im painting it to go back on, thought id make sure first

Hi mate,
That piece that you have on the spray can. What is it called and does it make the finish any different or dont you know.
Cheers
Jake

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

It's a spray trigger I got from halfords. Makes spraying allot more controlled when using cans, and so far yes it's helping to make a better finish vs a standalone rattle can
