Holly is looking good!

Is it ok to carry and move from car without the ally deck the spec weight is 86kg is that with the deck.

How is the Bison performing?

Great update,missing you at lunch times,let me know if you want any help,cheers tony k

Ok good choice with the cream , there is a thing called fine line masking tape in various widths down to 1/8 it's flexible so you can curve it nice and you mask up to it unlike the 1/2 inch which creases.

You de Manns......:)

Your garage is all back-to front!

Lovely colour combination and quality finish. Good job mate. 👏🏼

Nice to see a bison vid, i have the 4.2m with a 6 hp yam just for pottering and exploring local rivers, gets upto 14 knts gps and the 6 hp just sips the fuel, great fun. 👍❤️🇬🇧

@19.09, It's Austin A30/A35 Owners Club

Very nostalgic with the British Railway 'Blood & Custard' 👍

ESM sell parts for these

Lookin' good! Keep up the good work.

white roof i guess it will grow on me

Always look forward to the A30 videos. Looking great & love the cream roof 👍👍👍

Yay!

Good boats I found a 20hp worked well with 3up , great vid 👍

Nice to see another review on the Bison , Such great boats!! They would do well in the current market if they got the marketing right!

very hard as you say many factors small area to work compressor can't give enough air volume for you to put it on thicker over a wider area takes time and patience mate your having a go learning too

Anything getting covered with carpet or material just leave it, I'll be fine

and paint a sound deadner on the floor before u line with underlay then carpet it ,will be very quiet warm and cosy and not expensive

i ,ve done similar warming tips and usually thin 50/50 or just prime everything then rub back 600 wetdry

love this boys !! so sorry i couldn't come this weekend , Will deffo be out next !!

Can't wait to try it out,not sure it will fit in my fiat500😂😂😂

Hi guys, enjoying the content :-) I feel your struggle with the little compressor though, been there myself. I have recently been bought a new one by my brother...was very happy with the old one, and he never thought about what I was going to do with 2. If you want to have a chat about it let me know, it will run any air tool you need...it's a beast! ;-) Bri

Take the experts view on the clear coat by all means, as I said I'm no expert. I've never resprayed a car but my most recent experience of using clear coat has been on a set of Rostyle wheels and if I say so myself it came out great and the black sections came out with a really high gloss that I'd never get otherwise. If I knew how to do it I'd upload a photo. BTW I used the method mentioned in the last message to stop the black bleeding onto the silver and it worked perfectly so give it a go! (Remember only light mist coats over the masking tape and let each mist coat dry first)

A way I've found to stop the paint bleeding under the edge of the masking tape is to first of all make sure the edge is pressed down well and then give two or three very light mist coats, letting each coat dry first, over the edge of the masking tape. That then seals the joint of masking tape to new colour without enough paint to bleed under the edge. Then when you spray your full coats it won't get under the edge!

I can't tell you exactly what _basecoat_ is made of but it's only for use under clear. If you have a solid colour you should use single-stage 2K (dangerous) or a 1K 'cellulose' product which is probably acrylic lacquer. I think _basecoat_ may also be 1K acrylic but have heard it's not as robust and also dries matte

Ian must walk the plank

Ha ha, love the banter, pleased Ian has been let off the hook. It must've been worth every penny of the tenner he paid me to say that! Keep up the good work, love the videos!!

Don’t clear coat it just another good compound then wax it it’ll still look fantastic,you are running the risk of reaction with with the compound any tiny bit you might miss could spoil it.

I used to work in compressed air…… a moisture filter would help…….a condenser dryer even better…… but horses for courses 👌🏽😎if I had my time again I’d have one of these an drop a 1275 innit😉💪🏼….. it’s coming on well.

I agree with the previous comment. I wouldn't clear coat it. Clear coating is a modern technique created to prevent the metal flakes in modern paint from oxidizing. In the day the car was built there was no such thing. Paint was single stage, and protected with a coat of wax. I'd do it the same way. In fact I am doing it the same way with the 1966 Volvo Amazon I'm restoring.

More good progress 👌 but a word of caution I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to clear coat it because you are polishing the colour coat first clear coat is very sensitive and reactive to polish and silicone even if uv just got a bottle off car polish in your garage it could affect it and your compressor is just too small you need a decent supply of clean air and a reasonably good spray gun with a 1.3 set up so a few things to mull over but good luck anyway mate👍

Specky!

Walk the plank YES

Is it base and clear or 2k solid you using

Use a da with 800

Don’t use fairy liquid pointless your working twice as hard just da with 800

Make sure you use guide coat when blocking ( only trying to help )

Why use synthetic paint shop should have supplied 2k

Watch the grey primer doesn’t over spray on you red panels - you’ll Have more work to do

If you warm the primer up it flows better ( come from painting lots of cars over the years )

No One uses enamel Use 2k

Get rid of all polish which contain. Silicon when painting your car - other wise you’ve a problem

Use fine line tape ,

What paint did you use hope it was 2k paint not synthetic no one uses any more

enamel go,s on better and self flattens out if the panels are hot, like the car hs been left in the sun at about 28 degrees celsius for bout 45 minutes or so

How about a heavy cut compound on a D A to get your shine,I’m not an expert but i think it would improve your finish.

Sorry to bombard you with messages but going back to the clear coat idea I would think that if you took out the worst of the 'orange peel' first and then spray it all with clear coat that would possibly give you your desired finish, save you a lot of work and also protect your paint All the modern cars are finished that way. As I said I'm not expert but it just seems to make sense. It might just be worth asking someone knows.
