kashi make over.. - details added.
« on: January 26, 2011, 10:01 PM »
Hi folks,

Got this off gay bay, when it arrived it looked like the front had been chewed by a dog. However, the price I paid was less than I have seen the guts go for on here so I was pleased regardless.







Decided to have a go at sorting the damage and add some new decals





Gave it a shine.. :shocked:







I am over the moon with the results..

Hope you like,

Sid.   :daumenhoch:

Blinking ell - were do I start...  :P

The bite marks I lightly filed off the raised bits and then filled the holes using fibreglass resin and a tooth pick to localise the repair

When that set, wet and dry paper '1200' to remove any excess, I also sanded any other marks on the seat at this stage, going in one direction as this stops the nylon fibres splitting.

I then gave it a light dusting of plastic primer and then on with a 'black paint pen', you get great coverage with these and because its not thick you don't loose grain as such, I purchased some laquer (semi gloss) from b & q and gave it 3 light coats.

I have used this process before, 6/8 months ago and the seat has took a lot of stick and it still looks great..

This is seat I did before - I used clear plastic primer on this.





The kashi will be at Chester - so you can have a closer look   8)
