Small parts painted. Glasurit 2k primer, black Glasurit 2k acryl, semi gloss Acryl is more matt finish after few days. Aulis
Aulis, you painted outdoors with a temporary shelter?! What temperature was it and how did it dry? I thought most paints like to be sprayed around 70* F.....
16-17Dec Celcius when paint. One hour after spayed little more warm Yes it dry. Of course You can use different thinner, hardener, fast, slow..... Yes, I can promise I have paint few cars earlier (+500pc) and know little about paints. Maybe too little
Saturday I didnt open garage door. Today just fixed orig. 1932 steering column drop ready. New rubber, new sign, old mainswitch. I also stamped frame number, Original number is in original places (3 places) but not look very visible. We carried 1932 frame in to PRO paintingroom. Tomorrow tent is HOT and I paint epoxy primer and maybe green acryl final color. Helped Oskar when he was put together Z50A monkey (1976) His project is waiting for. Honda Monkey Benetton Edition , 1990 (Z50J) (only sold in Finland). A
Those little bikes are really cool. I have one similar. It's a strange one, looks like Honda 50, but different motor, but all original paint, so never modified. I've had Honda experts and other motorcycle experts look at it and they don't know what it is.
Frame painted. Epoxy primer + green glasurit 2k sealer + dupont Harley Davidson 1928-32 olive green. Evening I helped Oskar and his Friend to built Honad ready. They need rather much assistance, hope they learn somehing every day Also made some lathe jobs. I cut 4mm from Lincoln brake drums inner sleeve (brake surface). Also made 2pc sleeve between inner bearing and spindle bottom. Seal is 1 3/4" x 2". Original 1932 ford spindle OD. is 1 3/16". So I made sleeves 1 3/16" x 1 3/4" x 7/11". I also tranfer inner bearing 2mm from bottom to more near seal. Sleeve + bearing transfer are need to do when use Early Lincoln bendix brakes with original 1932 ford spindle. Aulis [/ATTACH]
Ok. I'll have to take some pictures. I have to look for it, as I don't know where I stashed it. It's somewhere in the shop stashed away with all the other treasures.
Front brakes are ready. - 2mm shim between inner bearing outer cone and hub. - 12mm sleeve between inner bearing and spindle - cut 4mm from backing plate edge before painting - lathe 4mm from drum inner sufrace - New bearings and seals. - painted drums. VHT silica high heat ceramic spray "cast iron". Now turns good, approx 2,5mm (0,1") cap between drum and backing plate. Also started to sand epoxy primer. One door ready for primer. I ordered from Italy some tensioners to our industrial customer. To same shipment for me 60mm x 60mm belt tensioner roll with bearings + alum. arm. Im gonna use those with my 1936 M-36 McCulloch supercharger. Roll 15euro, bracket 15euro. Not bad at all. AULIS
I have sand down few parts and spray basic primer on. same stupid things, same style pictures day after day,.... but need to do all that, if want get ready for final paintjob during this month. Aulis
Warm winter. Two last winter has been long and cold. Now only little snow, Nights little under zero dec (celcius) and days are upside of zero. Sun is shine and days are going longer and longer. Better if have hard winter. Then we don´t have so many "hang a round" dudes here... but weather is what it is. A
Yes, Sun is shine and days are "chicken step" longer day after day... Today I "repainted" frame. I was not happy about my first painting. Now very good. OK, there is some small notches (I dont know what word You use in english) and I was not fix those off with putty. I like that frame need to show that its old and original. Only thing was my paintjob was not good. Sanded little down with 320 paper and repainted it. One wet round Glasurit green (little lighter than Dupont) and one wet round dupont Harley Davidson Olive green. Dupont is not cover very good even if paint two or three wet .... thats why I have nearly same color normal 2K acryl basic. Tomorrow I paint Engine+tranny+rear axle Aulis
