A diffrent start to a project.... painted a corsa. pics now up

[danny_p]

few things on the golf have been bugging me so thought i may as well put them right then thought if i'm doing that i may as well do........

and the list has got a bit serious now and that kind of surgory ain't going to be happening outside as as thinkking about doing more work on cars with a mate his garage was / got volunteered.  the problem is sometimes we both get a bit carried away when on a mission.  but anyway after 2 days of moveing sh!t in an outwards direction we had a bare concrete floor.   so then we thought it would be a good idea to ply the cieling to stop sh!t dropping down and maybe keep some warmth in,,,, then we added a few lights   6x 150w halogens and 2 x floresent strip lights and 2x 100w uptop




we thought that looked rather good inprovemnt for the effort.  then someone said lets render it so we dont have to look at the crappy blocks and it'll be easyer to clean and get the dust out.

so this happend




one slight problem tho, we we were hopeing to get away with one coat and float it good enough but the render had diffrent ideas andstarted been ghay so lee and i decided to call a f**kit and deal with it by putting another coat on at a later date and scratched it all up



now we were presented with a whole load of render to 2nd coat but then we changed the plan again,  and decided to plaster it,  easyer faster and smoother finish again




the pics are a bit crap cos there off phone  but current plan is now to paint the walls and cieling white,  put a screed over the floor ( pritty much just because we can ) and seal it with epoxy paint

Q ? think were getting carried away yet ?

Good work, you might as well do it whilst you can

[VeeDubGTI16v]

good work, you need some of that self leveling floor stuff next  then you can setup the geometry in there as well

My cousin works for a company (Morgan Polymers) that make industrial floor paint - if you want me to ask for prices, let me know.

once thoes fecking appels have gone ( or we've built a shed for them )  were going to paint it and get the air sorted then bring the first car in.  looks like it's going to be a vhauxhall corsa ( learning excersise ) if all goes well the golf will be in then

i'm in ross-on-wye herefordshire.   but bristol aint that far. 

this silka self leveller ?    whats it like to work with / how much is it / how durable is the surface ect.

soz for all questins but not met that one before, everyone round here stocks the cempolay one, only problem been last time we used that the whole lot crazed then lifted and broke up.     hence why we were thinking screed the floor.  but if theres something better avalible i pop down in the van and get some
