KevinR Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Alex, It looks like the message about exceeding the attachment quota and the posting a linked picture are two separate things. Try posting another picture link as "Plain Text" and see what happens - I've converted the link in your last but 1 post into plain text and it shows the picture.

Piglet Posted April 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks Kevin. I'll try another one later on. Bed is yelling at me! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piglet Posted September 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Lora is still going strong I'm happy to report but there are issues. Well, one BIG issue. The paintwork. I had planned for the bonnet and boot to be painted to get rid of the water spots but it's now a lot worse than that. The paint is cracking everywhere, the drivers door being the worse. She looks terrible. There is a place round the corner from me that specialise in classic paint so I'll be taking some deep breaths and going to see them for a quote, Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Oh dear… Full respray will be ballpark £2k If the paint is a mess though it’ll likely mean it all needs taking off first. Of course though paint is just paint, you can still enjoy driving it even if the car’s not looking its best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 we painted sons first orrible nappy yellow Mini with Japlac from homebase a brush and mini sponge roller it looked good, the sponge gives a nice orange peel finish (maybe more thiners needed ) but this cost less than £20 and took a day to turn it into a bright red _ white roof Mini it lasted 5 years brush the edges and roller the main surfaces apart from a bit of flatting to prep this was a remarkable transformation for pea nuts Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piglet Posted September 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Yep, about £2K sounds right. Hey ho. Yes I still enjoy driving her regardless and still get loads of comments. Going to see the chap tomorrow. As for the roller paint, yes it can look amazing. I do remember watching a time lapse of some bloke with a huge American car and he applied a thin layer every day for a month. As you say cheap as chips and it did look very good indeed. Me? Spray please and by someone who owns a booth and an oven! Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
