Mend the Metal





The big bits first.



The Legshilds needed a bit of feteling first and a tad of mig welding. strip off old paint then weld and straighten as best as I can. My desire is to keep as much of the original scooter as possible. only replace when l have to.


First StageSoon on went some primer and knife putty. After laying on the paint l move the panels to the loft where in the Summer it has been 40 degrees C. More light sanding and primer. 4 coats of grey primer as stated in the de structions. 4 coats of Beige and 4 coats of lacquer (from a tin of corse)
.




Not bad after just two coats of Beige, just two more then some lacquer.


















Nice and clean looking ready for the six rubber strips with stainles steel ends.
