Bad reaction!

I hate painting trike bits ,but managed to get away with the frame etc,even a large area like the front mudguard!! lol! The rear mudguards I built and had a mate do the filling and straightening(useless at that too).They came back in primer,and after prepping I gave them a coat of the dark blue finish colour (s'pose it was a bit chancey painting them a shiny dark colour anyway!). anyways,they looked "OKish" ,but I decided to rub them down and give them a second coat as my painting area for small bits is just the shed ,and there was dust in the paint.Then it happened! I got a 100mm paint blister right in the centre of one of them! Bu**er! I havent a clue how it happened. It has just taken me about 2 hours to get rid of it,by lots of rubbing down and light coats of primer ,dried between coats with a fan heater,then flatted out again,and so on.What a pain in the a**e spraying is! Just as I did for the frame painting in the garage,I ve now built a 'tent' of plastic in the shed ,ready for the guards to get the final coat. At least I HOPE this is the final coat,as I rekon Ive just got enuf paint left!

i did a bit of spraying yesterday hoping the garage would be warm enough with my little heater on,but it wasn,t,i got a lovely finish that lasted all of 15 minutes and then it all bloomed and looked like mat black.

P****d off!  So I get the guards ready to paint in the shed. Then I run out of paint as I sprayed!!!!! And to top it all,as I moved around in the shed ,the floor flexed and one of the guards fell off the stand!!!! Chipped the paint. the other guard slid off ,and theres a large hand mark in the wet paint now.Another week to wait for them to go hard enuf to rub down,and to top it all I can only get the paint 6 cans at a time!  Its either a completely different colour that I can buy one can of ,or pay £78 for the 6 cans of matching colour. Think I'll leave it for a couple of weeks when Ive calmed down!

 UPDATE..........after calming down I  bought my paint from a local paint supplier,who ordered it from Rustoleum a minimum of 6 cans. Ive now found a place to get it at £4 a can cheaper AND they do single cans AND that includes delivery! Im so surprised at this that Im going to give them a ring instead of ordering it on line,as Im a bit dubious and I want to check it out.

Always happens when you only just got enough

Might be worth asking Clive, Lunatic or VooDoo for advice as they're our resident paint specialists.
Never carry on working when the red mist descends -anger, not paint overspray. There's nothing as infuriating as an inanimate object. It'll outwit you every time. Shut the shed door & walk away till you've calmed down or anything you do will just make things worse.

Thanks Andy. The guards really need a large amount of rubbing down,but Ive got to wait for the paint to harden first(next weekend) Just phoned the paint suppliers ,paint coming tamara. Yes youre right about the red mist...I was swearing so loudly SWMBO came out to see what was going on,just as I aimed a kick at the stand,but thought better of it ,as I knew that it would just make the problem worse! Was wandering round the house swearing and slamming doors for about an hour afterward!

I used to rent a council garage in a block behind a parade of shops.
Things weren't going too well on my trike build one day & in a fit of anger I grabbed the biggest spanner I could find & hurled it out the open garage door -just as a small lad wandered past the doorway. It literally skimmed the top of his head. I don't know who was more frightened. An inch lower & Id've killed him stone dead.
If you're going to get angry, do it out of reach of anything valuable or dangerous!

Stabbing your own Dad in the chin with a scalpel was one of my 'lashouts', piss funny, it knocked his false teeth out

When I was a teenager I threw the butter dish at my mum in a temper - it missed (thankfully) and hit the wall and slithered down and DIDN'T EVEN BREAK!!!!!!!   That pretty much cured me of throwing things (except wet dishcloths at my first husband cos he was wet!)

many ,,many,, years ago i threw a metal ,dinky, toy bulldozer at my dad as he shut the door after givin me a clip round the ear for something
he just shut the door in time as the bulldozer embeded its self in the door and when mum tried to retreive it it snapped the drivers head and the exhaust of leaving them in the door,,

the bits are still in the door to this day

Many years ago when i was a young boy,we lived back to back with the refuge collection unit.
although it was mainly ashes from the coal fires that was collected,  there were other household item collected,as well,anyway this day i was on my way home when i came across this old frying pan,well i picked up this frying pan swung it around my head a few times and let it fly over the wall into the unit,
the next thing i here a scream and someone shouting,i ran home as fast as i could,i wasn't home long before someone was knocking at the door, i remember my mother opening the door and there was stood one of the workmen with frying pan in one hand and rubbing his head with the other,
I had only hit him on the head with it.

I broke my last hacksaw blade while working on a new part for the bike, nothing had been going right and I should have gone for a tea and fag break hours before, got so angry I swung the hack saw back over my shoulder and attempted to launch it into orbit. It caught in my hoodie and as I swung it forward it pulled the hood round, hit my glasses, knocking them to the floor, and cut me right across the bridge of my nose.

Many years ago My dad was helping me fit a tinted screen (Shadowlite ..remember that stuff?) in my upright pop. I t wasnt going right ,the red mist was swirling,and I picked up a Yankee screwdriver by the blade end ,and swung it with both hands at the screen. The laminated glass cracked badly. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing.
  Another one...when the kids were small they were forever putting the video tape in back to front and it was jamming constantly. I stripped the VCR ,but couldnt fix it .The red mist descended, I grabbed the cable coming out the back of it,stood by the back door, swung it round ready to launch it down the garden,when one of the kids said ,no dad dont do it!...my Goonies tape is in there! My answer? "**** the goonies !" and launched it down the garden.Ever since then ,the back door mat has been known as "dads launch pad" !
