Sam Mcgoo Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 When you said "1 x aerosol blue plasicote from repairs to grandsons bike 1 x gold hammerite from repainting my old skyline calipers 1 x red high temp from painting my old scooby brake calipers 2 x household paint brushes" I thought But it actually looks really good!

brillomaster Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 lol, you should have perhaps spent a bit of money on a big broadsheet so you dont paint your garden! But engine bay looks good, gold is certainly different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmac Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Looks like i lied when i said no cost as im now going out for sunday lunch with the missus ( thats after a clean up the front chippings) she wants to go somewhere up near newby bridge in the lakes ( Hmmmmmm just looked and its a stonesthrow from the lakeland motor museum,i wonder ) yep not very clever telling her about the pixies, just been to bargain booze for the white wine pacifier, wonder how long she will make me suffer and how many times she will get a laugh when she brings up the topic in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobmac Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 dot between 3 and 5 now filled in with my new crayons, once bought a roll cage for one of the scoobies i had and left it in the kitchen after it was delivered, fully intended to put it in the garage, but ive got a short attention span and i saw something that was bright and shiny, so totally forgot about it, oh how we laughed about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
