What are you replacing it with mate?

Welcome back my friend.

I was concerned maybe I was supposed to apply a fixative layer or something to prevent the new and old paint reacting?

Trouble is I don't have anywhere I can safely use 2k. There's live stock in my back garden.

Yes a small water catch thing on the output from the compressor. Maybe not large enough. I know the compressor is under sized.

If that's the case that would make sense.

Il pop up some pictures later if I get time but I'm after some advice as to how I got it wrong. I painted my bonnet last summer, first time using a gun an compressor. Using 1k paint. I keyed the original paint to the primer then applied a layer of primer from a can, then the colour then two coats of clear. After some wet sanding I was really happy. Few minor things like a fly and I over sanded one corner. First few weeks were great. Then winter came. The paint was suddenly ruined. The car lives under a cover. The two defects are tiny blisters, I believe these are called micro blisters and are caused by water in paint? This is only in one area. The second defect which is throughout the panel is cracking. The paint looks like it's shrunk and split apart. I assume this is some sort of reaction? So before I try again, what went wrong?

Typo I hope.

Adventadors make buses look narrow.

What bloody use is that.

I started to think you'd gone off us all.

Shame you don't do just a very simple lip for the 89 fascias.

Obviously I wasn't there, however I've been to Japfest when it was at castle Combe a fair few times. I think the largest issue for this club is the fact that we didn't have a set person to co-ordinate for us. Simply relying on one member of another club is a bit unfair. This is why there were no banners. It takes a fair bit of juggling to organise three clubs at once and even with it all in order things still happen. For example a few years back at Simply the stewards decided to separate all the Z33/34s away from the rest, ended up parked in different parts of the show ground, annoying. I'd say, next year id take Japfest on for us. However with it not being in the south anymore and the way it fell I'm not sure il be going next year either. I feel if someone from here took up the batton next year and helped out, not just flags etc but it's the conscious effort to badger people to go. I think we missed out this year. With that in mind, your going to see a lot of Simply bumping.

Yes, across the two connection pins.

31 cars, most of them z32s. Filling up nicely to be a great day out. Still time to top last years 50! Some of which can be seen here. Note to self, don't photo bomb press photographers, you end up in things like Honest John. Whoops! http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/news/event-news/2014-08/beaulieu’s-simply-japanese-is-a-hit/ With a touch more voting I think we have a serious chance this year of winning the people's choice award after a few years now where we've had multiple cars in the final selection. But no first place, the potentials there, just got to seize it.

:lol: no problem

You didn't leave the tail off like that did you? Mucky pup.

I have to agree with Pete too. The enthusiasm and time are your issue and finding either of those to pull apart a car that you don't really want to pull apart and deal with the crap is pretty demanding. That other block you've got might not take all that much cash/effort to refresh. Exchanging the blocks is something that can be done over a weekend quite casually.

Gurt lush.

Drove past it twice on way two and from work, looked at it floating on the stands. Won't be touching it this weekend though, way too busy.

Whoops.

We've had it down here as well, it's not settled but still, we don't get snow this far down normally.

A few regular posters have disappeared over the last few years. Weather isn't exactly zed friendly atm either, spring is a bit late this year.
