#281994 - 24/05/2006 17:24 Freshly Painted Dock
sein old hand Registered: 07/01/2005 Posts: 893 Loc: Sector ZZ9pZa	So I helped out the guy a few doors down my road who makes Bathroom Suites with his electrics. He mentioned he had a spray booth, so I kinda made him have a go at my dock when he had a bit of spare time. The result is pretty fantastic. It is not piano-shiny, a little bit more matte than that, but it just 'goes' so well. Attachments 282002-dock.jpg (154 downloads) _________________________ Hussein

I have never been a fan of docks being painted always prefered them natural but that is a VERY good job.. _________________________ -D Modifying and Tweaking is a journey, not a destination................................

Apparantly it is down to the chemicals he uses, he did it in two coats after cleaning it up. Amazing stuff. The bathrooms he has on show are more impressive. He paints wooden panels for bathtubs in that booth, and they come out so shiny it is more like fiberglass than wood. _________________________ Hussein

FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	Oh yes, I will be there in September, for my third meet. Haven't bought my ticket or finished planning my itinerary yet (too busy), but I've got a hotel room with my name (and schido's) on it. See you then!! _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set
