For outdoor wood painting, I find a high volume low velocity sprayer a good life hack. Especially for slatted fences. Just make sure that you put something behind to prevent over spray. I believe a member on here had a neighbour who resprayed a fence and the members car.

Yea that was me, some stupid women completely covered three cars, It cost them a couple of grand to get them all cleaned!
I think the women must of done a runner after that as I've never seen her again

Certainly going to be spraying the second coat of emulsion in the workshop but only when the concrete floor is down.

I bought a spray machine when I did my garage after getting pi55ed off trying to do it with a roller. I’ve just sold it as it was a waste of time. You have to thin the paint so much to get it to cover, well it doesn’t and I came out like a pilsbury dough man :)

they take a lot to get use to but when you get it right the finish is spot on and so fast always clean through with water spray after

Had a shuftie at this RHD 430 earlier today, haven't committed to buying it yet but it looks promising, going back for a more in depth look at the weekend....

(Also found out that David Askew the Biturbo parts man is based not that far from where I live which is handy)

Agree to an extent about the white, but overall it's in good nick so the colour isn't that important to me. The blue interior is very much to my liking though ;)

nice looking motor, i would get those white mirrors sprayed Black and will be good, white with blue interior is the best colour combo ;)

Edit: and spray those light bezels in an Antracite colour, will look far nicer and break up the white as on my spyder

That's very nice - are the wheels the four or five bolt fixing type...? A set of those would look great on the 430 if I buy it (I've also got a Nardi steering wheel which would be the icing on the cake). I agree on the headlamp surrounds too ;).
