And while I'm at it does anyone know where everyone gets the wire mesh to put in the vents?"


Yeah Home Depot is the ****!! You can get a 6ft x 3 ft sheet of wire mesh in the back area where they sale the Concrete supplies for $5!!!!!!!!! Hell I was SOOOOO happy when i found that out. Felt like i hit the lottery lol. I cut it up and used Velcro (cut up into little 1in x 1in squares) to fasten it down...stays PERFECT!! and they're removable

sweet thanks how hard was it to form it

the gutter mesh is easily manipulated to any shape you want, it's just a thin guage aluminum, super simple....

started priming yesterday and after the first batch of primer everything was going good but on the second batch the primer started clumping up in my gun. I mixed properly what could cause this?s

[ctandc]

Water in the air line?

[ras]

coulda been but i doubt it my brother has a valve to release the H2O and we released the H2O regularly.

got more priming done today man I gotta give props to all the guys that do this for a living. It's not as easy as it looks.

sounds like a bad reaction of some sort. was it hardening or just getting globby and stringy???

[ras]

globby and stringy

[Erki]

yeah something didnt react right with each other for some reason sounds like.

[ras]

got another question for you guys I had to put alotta filler in my jhappels pannels but it still wasnt hard by the time we left like 2 hours later? So I assume I didn't put enough hardener in it. So I guess my question is will the filler ever harden if there isnt enough hardener?

[Erki]

If its all mixed in it should eventually harden. you could try taking a hair dryer or heat gun and warming it up a bit. Then let it cool and it might harden for ya. as long as you put some hardner in and mixed it good it should harden.

ok ran into another problem first time we had this happen.

any idea on what happened here?

[ras]

ok so we shot base on our first few pieces. haven't actually shot any of my pieces yet since not much of my bike is gonna be this color but here are the pics. none of these have been wet sanded or buffed yet just base and clear. I think I did pretty good for a fist timer. I have more done but the pics didn't really turn out very well. oh and this pix don't do the color justice cause this silver is awesome.
