Well the flap wheel on the drill wont get into those hard to reach places


Went searching for my old dremmel type tool I had to repair it 1st the last time I used it.....a few years ago it suddenly stopped working. Seems it overheated one of the surface mounted transistors had come adrift.
Can go no further until paint arrives

Well the paint arrived so got a start with under coat and tried the silver on the spare wheel which had under coat all ready.



Got all the wheels primed today.

Here is one of the finished wheels sorry about the light the front of the house is in shade by 11am. I dont like the colour or the finish top coate really shows up bits I missed in the prep stage. Iv got filler and filler primer on route to make a better job of it if needed. Just need to find a top coat I like that I can lacquer as this first stuff says cant be over lacquered and their from the same maker. Doh !!!

Thanks fellas.....the rain wind and general cold has stopped any further progress with this at the moment so will need to wait for the sun to return.

I will also need x2 more cans of this paint to finish off the last 3 wheels.....BUT it seems this colour is now out of stock from every source until further notice.

I might get creative and spray the inside of the wheel in satin black as iv x2 large 500ml cans sitting here doing nothing and only use the bavarian grey on the outside........
