mad

I took this back from the spray shop with the spare keys before!

*A BIG THANKYOU TO DIGGING DEEPER FOR YOUR HELP*

This vehicle is on SORN and they left it outside with no back windows in it all open mad
It was just waiting for someone to throw a firework in or set on fire! Had enough, going to finish it myself now, i have all the equipment in work, just don`t know how to mix the paint?
Getting the rest of the kit and bumpers tomorrow and they can whistle for any more money snob

For some UNKNOWN reason the engine sounds REALLY tappety yet it was fine when it went in there, will have to check it tomorrow.

DAVE empty your Pm box mate, need to speak to you!!!

Will NOT recommend these painters to anyone now and will never use again! Pisstake!!!

Pisstake.

Take it you have halogen heaters in work? or a blower heater, just make sure you water the floor before you spray.

Also what paint you using?

to mix the paint its 2 parts paint, 1 part activator 10% thinners, if it reacts use anti bloom thinners, thats for most 2 pack base coats

prob tappity due to it being sat up the hydraulic shims need to adjust, check the oil level and just leave it to idle smile

Unbelievably worse - it turns out they left the keys in the car - total planks!!!

smack Yes and we went home to get the spare set of keys doh!
Wouldn`t of been too bothered but £2150 is a bit too much to loose!
The guy even came the yard and didn`t even mention the car had gone missing to me! (i hid it to see if he`d say anything), he went through my boss and asked him what to do! lol. I went there after work and told him he still owes me an air filter and he asked why i took the car!!! lol laugh Unbelieveable!

Flush it properly with that Winn's engine stuff, you'll find these engine tap and get quite noisy as they get older. It's well worth giving the head a good cleanout while it's off the road, it'll make a huge difference.

IIRC engine flush is just paraffin - just add some of that to the old oil if you have some kicking round.
