Hi,

I need to touch up the paint on my TVR chassis and it would be much easier with a ramp! I can use the pit at my grandparents, but its quite a drive and I'd need to clear out their garage, so it would be easier if I could find one more local! Definitely don't want to do it on axle stand!

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Dan

Where abouts are you buddy? I can do some saturdays afterwork. Open up the workshop, and let you paint away?

I was going to say the same thing Dan, let the girls go shopping and I can watch you paint, only down side its a bit of a trek to Eastbourne frown.
Best to stay local with new fresh un-cured paint on the chassis at this time of year.

Thanks, I'm in New Milton. Sounds perfect if you're local.

No worries mate, Had it been the summer I would have said make a weekend of it and enjoy the scenery from a few bars.
Any way say Hi to Ash and good luck with the painting (pics when its done) smile

There used to be a place in Fair Oak that rented theirs out but I don't think it's still there as I have been looking for the same thing to do some undersealing

No, I bought some epoxy mastic chassis paint. Well see how it goes.

Nice one, but I'm working the boat show this weekend (and the last one). Then I'm away for a week in Cornwall. I think I might take a trip up to my grandparents and do it over a few days, so I can do a couple of coats and let it cure properly.

Thanks for the offer.
