Dipping toe into painting

I might have seen them but forgotten. Let's hear a refresher.

Let's see your paint efforts, I can't wait to be impressed

I spent more than 10 years trying to replace a couple of exhaust bolts and not yet got it done. A few weeks is nothing.

That's because you've spent 10 years designing a way to jack the thing up by its brake discs

Why have 1 project 100% complete when you can have 100 projects 1% complete eh?

Was you waiting until after your ten-yearly oil change!

Nope. I am now on lifetime oil. If there is no MOT advisory, then there is no urgency for the bolts. I haven't got around to do my 4 post jenga lift. The bolts can wait.

The spray gun is in. It's the aeropro brand. I looked at the tip mechanism and I am happy to believe it will work for me. By limiting the material feed, I can reduce the CFM requirement. My chances are looking good. I will play with water first before I buy paint.

Sounds good. Where can we buy this stuff?

Castrol edge 0w30 LL04.

You do know LL stands for long life. Not life long

They never said how long is long life, could be 105 years.

Oh yes. Ofcourse

 

[carmanmemoranda]

They never said how long is long life, could be 105 years.

With the LongLife service regime it could be anywhere between 9,000 miles or 12 months up to a maximum of 20,000* miles or 24 months, depending on the way the car is driven and/or its operating environment. The Time and Distance regime will be around 10,000 miles or 12 months (which ever occurs first).
