I still have my Paasche 'H' series airbrush I won in a model contest back in the 70's. I only used it for model making; but I did try it to repair a scrape on my Mom's bumper a few years back. I never did figure out what thinner to use with Honda's bottled touch-up metallic paint. Mineral spirits didn't work; neither did M-E-K, Naphtha, Xylene or acetone. I did the best I could; but I wasn't happy with the result. Fortunately the scrape was small and my Mom is happy.
Oh yes, how could I forget the screaming wrestling event announcer on Monster Garage. That was another reason I couldn't stand that show.
Yes, there are a lot of good fabricators on this site and I enjoy seeing what people come up with.
Matt the trick to making a paint repair is to know what was there before. I've seen times where a good painter tried to repair and paint a bad area and after he applied the paint it all started to lift or go to a crinkle like finish. When that happens something has gone terribly wrong. I've never used an air brush for spot repairs. I usually use a full size gun and blend it in. I usually go 18" on each side of the repaired area. After it dries I usually wet sand and buff. Looks super cool and you would never say it was ever done
If I may be so brazen...................... your daughter is quite beautiful, and I'd like to date her.![]()
Sorry Ductape she's taken. Actually she married (see first photo, husband). She even got a kid!(see second photo) She got a sister but she just broke up with some guy from Central New Hampshire and she's pretty tore up about it (see third photo). She got a first cousin but she's always working. She might go out with you (see last photo)
Wow , Paul, Thats some collection of Memorabilia . Thanks for sharing .
Bob
Glad you liked it Bob. Thank you sir
Looks like that bike needs the 'baffles' taken out of the pipes..... I took mine out of the stock pipes and it sounds great... It also made it run better.. The pipes was blocked off in 3 places.
I may just come & visit someday... But it won't be in the winter.
I enjoyed yours pictures of your yard with you tractor... You really have a nice yard, and it looks relaxing the way you have the landscape!.... I also enjoyed the pictures of the chair, gas pumps and all the rest of your collection....That girl looks great!!!!!..(I hope my wife don't see this.)
OK since you've shown different pictures and videos in this thread, and we all have talked about different things..Can you post something else that you built.. I don't remember where its at but I've seen it before. Its the "sandblaster" that you built.... Do you care to post that ?
Thanks for all the pictures!
Ya that bike was pretty quiet alright. My Wing is quiet. I like quiet though. We have a few Harley's that come to the shop with straight pipes. they would wake up the dead.
Happy you liked the pictures. Appreciate the compliment on it. My wife and I enjoy working around the yard. It gets me out of the shop for awhile. We just back from our evening walk. We seen one eagle, two stray cats and 3 whales in the bay. you come on down for a visit. I'm sure you'll love the place. It's a little laid back. Not much in the way of crime. Most folks are very friendly and say hello when you walk by.
So you want to see something else that I built. Ok. I'll go and look for some photo's and post it after this post. Thanks. Paul
