Haven't done much with the car because I HATE painting and that‘s what needs done atm! Finished painting the front arches anyway and yesterday cleaned the tiebars, TCA's etc back to bare metal with a drill and sanding disc and dusted them with high build primer. Have sprayed the tiebars and TCA’s today and I just can’t seem to get a decent finish on them. I build it up in thin layers leaving about 30mins between coats but I’ve still ended up with runs, bubbles and bits where the paint just wont set. Hate trying to spray things with a can! Might just get them powder coated or something and be done with them as it seems I’m just terrible at painting :(
Couple of pics I took dismorning anyhow...
Arches after 1st coat:

Have left the bits I tried to spray to dry over night and will see what they’re like in the morning :roll:

Cheers!
I'm sick of it atm though. The tiebars etc turned out naff so gonna have to clean them all back again and then take them down the powder coaters to get a decent finish on them. Wont be doing anything for a while now though as I go away again for a couple of weeks tonight so the car will just remain up on axle stands for a while.
Wanted to get all the arches and bits cleaned up and painted during these last two weeks but as I've been ill and not had a car to get about in I've got f*ck all done! Quite pissed off tbh.
