Good Call RE: handy panel beating tips

Tip:

#01 When the masking tape is hard to unroll n keeps breaking
jist zap it for 10-20 secounds in the microwave oven = unrolls like new

#02 to add a wide line in painting (as in signwritering etc) paint area 1st with the color of line U want
then mask area to B lined in th@ color, then paint the cab & color over masked line then remove masking tape B 4 finshed color has dried

#03 when repairing smashed up fibregalss keep all bits as in a jig saw puzzle n gradually glue each piece in with the F/Glass resin allow to dry then keep adding more of the puzzle . this leaves a smaller area to guess the previously smashed up fibre glass area

#04 When hand painting in cold weather stand paint tin in hot water to make it flow easier to eliminate brush strokes

#05 When respraying truck rims with mounted tyres use a rustband on tyre laying down to stop overspray over tyre

#06 When painting truck Spider spoke wheels DONOT paint the area th@ cums in contact with tyre rim as this will make it harder to fit or remove tyres/rims as there is a close tolerance on sum makes of trucks

#07 Paint all hard to get @ places 1st, then U can see easy to get @ areas th@ still need a light spray


Painting Words
Paint run, Paint sag, Orange peel look, overspray, dribbles,splatter, F#*^ the painting
