Anniversary skirts are off...
« on: 02 March 2009, 18:18 »
I've just pulled my skirts off as the glue that was holding them on has let go and they were flapping about lol

Just had a quick check over them and it looks like one of them has got moisture trapped under the paint and it's made it come out in spots  :sad:



(the specs you can see are all moisture trapped under the paint)

So it looks like a quick "stick back on" job is now turning into a complete respray of them...  :angry:

Gonna do it myself in the shed, they can't look any worse than they do now. Looks like I'll have to get used to the look of it without the skirts for now  :cry:
