    Dipping toe into painting

    There is a lot more to painting than spraying. Colour matching is also a large part. I could potentially modify the final result by manipulating the primer colour. One possible approach is to get separate black and white primers. Then mix the two using various ratios until the right end result...

    Dipping toe into painting

    Finished the first clear coat this morning. To counter debris issues, the painting surface was arranged to be laying vertical like a wall picture. If anything got on it, there would be less chance of gravity pulling the debris down to contact the base coat. How well that worked wouldn't be known...

    Dipping toe into painting

    The base coat was finished close to perfection. Spot repairs using the normal spraying gun settings was effective in blending in the new paint. Total paint used for the panel was about 250ml. The most effective way I found to remove debris on a coat was rubbing it out through a dragging motion...

    Dipping toe into painting

    The primer was easy as I thought. Since I had no major fixes/fills to do, brushing on primer for minor fixes was OK, following by sanding flat. A second coat of primer was made after fixes. The optimal flow rate was found to be at 3.5 turns from closed. While laying down the primer, a ripple...

    EV are they worth it?

    My car charges at £0 all day long. My china economy 8w panel never gave me problems. I don't have to set up anything, and just drive.

    EV are they worth it?

    BBC is the last place I go to for anything. They are nothing less than a license fee gansta. If you used youtube, you would not be in the hole you are in with a large number of ignition sources in your home.

    EV are they worth it?

    You don't actually need an o'level to know EVs are fire risks. You just need to use youtube and see all the lithium batteries spontaneously combust. Who needs this kind of risk, especially in a hospital where there are lots of immobile patients?

    EV are they worth it?

    Your bad. EV owners bend over for big oil and pretend they don't. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/2024/en-us/GUID-E7469E86-090D-4A12-842C-7AAD00446096.html

    EV are they worth it?

    I am not bending over for big oil since I have lifetime oil, and I have a battery charging thread. Facts will be lost on you.

    EV are they worth it?

    You are asking for it. If you check the small print, you will find your house insurance is invalidated.

    EV are they worth it?

    What's the difference? You do same with big battery. In your case, it is worst, you get fire risk thrown into the bargain. The EV would not just burn itself but would also set house on fire, plus the neighbour's house.

    Dipping toe into painting

    Priming for the 4th panel was completed using R500, 1.3tip, 1.5bar, 3flow, 150ml. The result was pro quality. I estimated the paint requirement at 90ml, but gave it 150ml to allow for transfer loss from containers, strainers, etc. In the end, 150 was a little more than the actual requirement...

    EV are they worth it?

    The explosion does look similar to EV. Can't blame people for making the wrong assumption.

    EV are they worth it?

    This one has all the hallmark of a mobile/laptop igniting spreading to car, then to the pump, then to the other car. Lithium battery devices should be banned in petrol stations because the rudimental fire fighting facilities such as a bucket of sand would have no effect on a lithium fire.

    So the woman was some kind of a bus expert? Did she say what type of fuel, petrol, diesel, or lithium?

    EV are they worth it?

    Doesn't say it's not EV. If the firemen allowed it to burn out by itself, that would indicate an EV.
