Title: The latest Willoughby build kicks off
Post by: Moschops on August 27, 2009, 10:33 PM: This frame was a subject on tech and restoration, it had badly dammaged paint and a small dent in it. Suggestions on the dent were discussed and in the end I was going to use a wonder filler called 'Lab Metal' which should take powder coating heat, and super bike Dan was going to work his magic.

However 'Lab Metal' is shite and I had to resort to normal filler and do Dan out of some work :(

The end result is achevied with 'Plasti Kote' can paint. Enammell white whith a blue glitter laquer.

In this financial climate this build is on a budget.

If Josh pulled his finger out and rode in a race like he can on a practice night Mike might give him a decent discount :daumenhoch:

It wasn't brilliant, I ended up doing some clear laquer over the top to really seal it in.

I guess it dose look like chewing gum ;D
