OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Idle Chatter a new toy and project

thought id get a bit slack and try one of these as i couldnt be botherd cleaning my gun after only one base painting so was looking in the auto shop this morning and spied this jigger
seemed to do a good job but not a wide enough spray so i got some runs and was almost as hard to cleanup after but good for small things i guess

the old rover doner base for the wanted ad for blumby's quantum carb' its turned into a play thing , just needs a little green on it somewhere and an orange engine with some strange decals

I used one to paint my model 3 with and once I thinned the paint right it did a good job. You can buy them at Bunnings for around $10, Berger brand. Works out pretty good compared to the price of getting a spray can made up.

yeh maybe ,, but it was thin enough i thought too , but next time i'll try a different way and so darn cold here too now makes it hard too do anything !!

That's most likely why you got runs in it.If the metals to cold the paint won't stick to it.At least your having fun,keep up the good work.

naaaaaaaaah was warm today , think it shot right upto 9 or 10c hahaha i meant the fan wasnt wide enough , was ok when i worked it out though runs hid themselves as it dried (almost) , now what for an engine

327 Chev? Sniggers*.....

there ya go with the orange again , only could find a 190cc briggs though , that should do the trick a victa blade boss and one of those vortex type disc's , a bitsa again , gooood
uses up some parts

Yep sure can tell your a Holden man.

Lols....190cc! Thats 5hp right? It will take off ha ha....

tough grass down here ya know
think we both are blumby ht vc ? hmmmmmm hahha its why i didnt like blue or ovals n stuff (joke)
its from one of those dedicated mulch mowers , i even sold it once and it came back tried it on my grass and took it home then didnt like it on theirs ? , plenty of power but a bugger to push on anything but a real lawn , so of she comes
and with it i might have plate the back of the catcher too

a little bit more on it today . the donor machine to be refitted with an older quantum , the new engine colour hubcaps the same , and yes i left the s/plug in , its an old one just stops anything getting where it shouldnt be


now to find a blade boss to suit a vortex type disc as always there was one on a blown engine i scrapped a few weeks ago , (naaah i'll never need that) go's to show huh , never throw anything out

bored here so paint is dry enough if im careful even after 2 days in what is sort of sunshine here the white is still soft .
now some chrome handles and different decals , the blade on it now will work but cut tooo low from the donor





Didnt do a lot under it though as its going to be used.
Might be in the wrong place too ? sorry if it is.

little closer . went to see the man today got some decals for this and some others i needed too . great repro's ! need more bling now though

anyone close by wrecking one of those talon things with alloy wheels ? might do the trick
might as well show some others too , all really good things , the badges look good too but sort of laminated, nice enough too
and many MANY more too he has .. silnesmessor on ebay also a member here

Look'n sweet. Nice job
