Project rattle can

(1/5) > >>

SteveW:
The paint on my 550 tank had gone strange with thousands of cracks like crazy paving.
As I had nothing to lose I thought I’d rattle can it.
Probably 25+ hours work went into the tank, never attempted it before but it came out pretty good.
Will give it a proper polish in about a month once the lacquer is hard.

I know they are not the genuine colours, I just wanted something similar.

SteveW:
More

Nurse Julie:
That looks really good, better than I ever managed to get out of a rattle can (holts matt black in the early 80's 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

philward:
Thats really good Steve - what actual colour is it?

SteveW:
Ford Electric Orange pearl and VW Urano Grey from Halfords.

Oh and the white is the same white as a certain large German company paint their MRI scanners in, I had some left over  ::)

Lacquer is Simoniz stuff from ECP, friend of mine used it and accidentally spilt petrol on it and it was ok.
