Must be someone wandered in off the street. Never seen them before! Think that settles it. Gonna paint the hood black i think. Will need to wait for warmer weather though.

Heres a few more updated pics of my c105. Think its finally finished. Had to drag myself away from the lawn ranger for a while to put decals on.

And a couple of before and after pics of a c105.

And now some light refreshment. AAAHHH!

Jobs a good un. Time to carry on fettling the lawn Ranger. Might just have another beer first though.

:) Thought id better say that Its not brush painted. Its sprayed. I brush painted my raider 10 which turned out great but decided spraying was the .way forward for the c105. however the entire contents of my garage are now red. the over spray has covered just about everything so i decided to brush paint my Lawn ranger to cut down on the mess but that has turned into a bit of a night mare because the vapormatic paint im using is horrible to brush on and runs everywhere, no matter how good i brush it on, so it looks like it out with wet and dry and back to the spray gun.

Have you tried using a brush to applly the paint then going over it with a lambs wool mini roller ,

Ive done this with quite a few things in the past & it does come out quite well

Cheers for that neil. Never tried the roller method before but have seen some fairly decent paint jobs using this method. Ive since rubbed the lawn ranger chassis down and sprayed it but im still not happy. think it was too cold when i brushed the first the first coat on and then i didnt wait long enough before rubbing it down as you can see all the sanding marks. Im not amused. Just debating weather or not to flat it again and give it another coat.

we used a roller on Ewans hood on the westwood, cheapo foam one from a generic pound shop I think - came out ok...
