  1. :D

    Armando is right about putting the lid way for a week or so,i know we all want to get these projects of ours done and dusted but sometimes time is our friend.

    I found a UK contact for Krylon paint,(yes mate you can get it in the UK) i will PM hes details phone number etc.

     

    My sandy lid was done by first using wet and dry paper all over ,even took off the ears so i didnt miss any area,then washed the dust off.

    then just sprayed the lid with krylon gloss white.first coat you could not see,left for 30 seconds or so then just built it up with 4 layers with a gap of about 30-40 seconds.then i think i put the lid on the top shelf for about 8 days.

     

    I was able to use wire wool on the lid to take the shine off areas as i was making a sandy then used pastal chalks,grey,sand,burnt umber,yellow,cream for the weathering.

     

    It took all that with no chipping or flaking.
