Spoke to dene a few times, it was taking a lot longer than I thought, but he was good as gold about it, there's nowt worse than not being able to use your bike for a few weeks. Just hoped I could sort it out for him..
He'd chosen grey with a black stripe. Got loads of silvers but inly one gray, Volvo Flint, so we went fir that and a flat bmw black.
Flatted everything again and painted, then made a totally disastrous mistake..
Knowing I had several coats of lacquer to apply, I used a u-pol additive, "rocket" to speed up the air cure.
It reacted, and shagged the lot..
Cleaned it up with thinners and wet and dry, started spraying colour again, and it reacted again..I hadn't cleaned it all of enough.
By now I was so fed up with it you can't believe it, and the week end was gone. All my own fault and part of my learning curve unfortunately
So woke up today, thought " right, calm down. Start again. Finish it today no matter what, get his bits back to him.."
