Got the frame welded up over the weekend so spent half the day sun and today (mon) fettling and d spattering the frame.
My mate turned up and said he had found a tame sandblaster so threw the frame in the van and off we trot.
Turned up in a little industrial estate asked the guy how much and when the answer £20 and 20 mins wow another result

Why thank you my good man So i decided seen as i had it sandblasted id best put some paint on it (not that i know owt about that) ive had a paint gun and some paint that i was going to paint my camper with. Long story short that never happened. so got set up in my garage and had a go. just put two coats of rustolem primer on and to be honest i was quite pleased with the result  |

Looks great! I love the colour & as you say, it wasn't built to blend into the traffic. Taz just looked over my shoulder & thought that was one of my frames! |
