Default Been Painting Again, pic heavy.

Been busy in the garage the past couple of weeks, got an engine on the go and trying to plaster board the garage off.

But to occupy my mind inbetween these i've been painting stuff

My winter wheels got a nice thick coat of gloss black ready to fit my snow tyres.


Then painted a couple of inlet manifolds

Someone's Type R inlet








Drive's for his wrx

Lmfao. I work 8hrs a day in work then get to my garage to put a further 4hrs in. When I have a day off and I do nothing I'm on edge. If I was on the dole I think i'd kill myself, id be so bored.

Plus its all part of a bigger picture. Time will tell.

Big thanks to Dylan for preping and painting my inlet manifold, he did a great job, fair play.

Great effect on the crackle finish:

Looking good there Mr Taylor, I'm glad to see that Dylan's been paying attention when I've been given him instruction.

Taylor so you and moose fitted an inlet manifold which takes a bit of expertise but you couldn't paint one

To get the right finish on the VHT Crackle paint you need a hot air gun or the like to get the manifold hot and i don't have one. Also as Dylan has painted a few before with good results, it was a no brainer really....

Also I should have said thanks to Ty for dropping the manifold off to Dylans and picking it up for me, cheers fella.

I don't mind helping anyone out and Taylor did thank me when I picked up / he picked up the manifold so there was no need to thank me again Taylor.

Dylan, what I was referring to in general terms was the way that some members on here post up a question, get an answer and then can't even be bothered to thank those people who have helped them out. I just think its downright rude and for something that only takes seconds to do.

Cheers Rob Its a pain in the *** to get the manifold off, hence why i wanted it painted right the first time. But the results are defo worth it. Nothing worse than a scabby manifold!
