near concours condition

What on earth would a concours one reach

[ASL642]

How much? Gulp!

[drivewasher]

What he means is if it has only reached silly money (Low Price like say £12) at 12 hours before listing finishes then he will end the listing IE pull it off.
I would have thought that is agains Ebay rules, he should have listed it with a reserve price, but that itself cost's a fee Mmm...

Yes, sounds like a lot at first glance, but looking from a cottage industry point of view - (I've recently set myself up with a small parts cleaner, sand blast cabinet and spray gun), I would estimate the cost of restoring an air cleaner as follows;

Post to me - £4.49
Degrease and paint strip - .5 hr (@£18 per hour) - £9
Degreaser and chemical paint striper - £1
Sand blast - .5 hr - £9
Blast media - .50p
Prime - .25 hr - £4.50
Primer - £1.50
Top coats - .5 hr - £9
Black gloss - £4
'Coopers' sticker - £2
Filter - £3.90
Post & Vat for sticker and filter (BM) - 4.49
Post back to customer - £4.49

Total cost £57.87

Interestingly, I'm just about to do the exact same excersize for my Daughters car - of course in this instance - there's no charge - and probably not even a 'thanks Dad'! Doh![frame][/frame]

So what paint would you use, Gloss black rattlecan or domestic brush on gloss?

Unless I had a lot of other things to do at the same time - I'd use an aerosol spray, it's a lot easier for small jobs as it takes a while with the setting up of the spray gun and then all the vleaning afterwards. Before I got my spray set up I used brushing paint, but I never got the finish I wanted. Using light build up coats leads to an even finish that seems sturdier than brushing. But the best thing is the blast cabinet! It leaves a fine etch to the surface and paint hold to that really well. I quite like 2k Acrylic which eventually cures to a super resilient coating - but again some extra flaff with mixing the 2 parts. Tried cellulose which was ok apart from the fumes!
