effing bloody spray cans!!
« on: March 18, 2008, 09:53:25 AM »
I asked the hardware guys, " Can I spray epoxy paint over enamel?" and they said, "sure, its just Lacquer that you can't overspray..." After prepping the frame, I shot it with a light coat of epoxy paint, only to quickly see once perfectly flat and smooth sections begin to wrinkle. Aircraft stripper and sanding to fix; eventually a beautiful frame once again.

patience is a virtue.

I've learned not to trust anyone at the hardware or auto parts store unless he's a confirmed GHOF.  If he's wearing suspenders, it's even better! ;D

 :D thanks, I needed a laugh today...

I'm going to sandblast this frame again (2nd time in about one year) this weekend and hopefully have it back in black in a week or so.

GHOF; that's priceless...
