I now have a coat of paint on the bed and another coat on the rest of the parts. This stuff builds really well but has to be the worst paint i have ever cleaned out of a gun. Could just be the colour but i don't think so.
Josh made a comment about sanding the stuff back on the FP2LB, and i have to agree with him. After 24 hours it just kills w&d paper in no time. I don't think i have ever sanded anything as hard as this before.
As usual the wildlife came out as soon as i had sprayed, I like how you can see just how far he got presumably before the paint killed him.....

Great work Ueee,
I like the pic with the bug. I got a laugh out of the little track meandering off into the background!
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

Over the last week the lathe bed seems to have been coming down with RC's disease. It got light red patches! I fixed them today with another coat of paint, ready now for a light sand and some poly.

Hi Peter,
It is a product called Dulux Duremax. There are 2 versions of this, standard and Zinc Phosphate. http://www.dulux.com.au/specifier/pr...l?product=2308
It builds really well, but is very hard to spray as it is so thick even when thinned to the max recommended amount. Becuase it is so thick it also hangs really well but it does dry with pretty bad orange peel.
This is the topcoat i'll likely use, although there are a few different ones available. http://www.dulux.com.au/specifier/pr...l?product=2346
Old1955,
Thanks for following along, it will get finished one day....
Cheers,

bed
Hi Ewan
I think you mentioned that the bed is a tad worn . Are you planning to have the bed ground ? If so will the grinding process make a mess of your nice paint job ? Mike

I see they have my "Dance Studio" blue available in that topcoat range.

Wow its been a while since posting here. Longer than i thought.
Anyway not that there has been any progress on the lathe really, but i found this on gumtree, a 1940 Nuttal. /http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/glenorie/miscellaneous-goods/1943-lathe-for-sale/1055471581?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=LF-goods&mpch=ads
Whilst there is nothing really special about this machine one thing jumped out at me, the countershaft setup is exactly the same as the one i have for the LeBlond. I already know it is a Nuttall clutch (as is the one on my shaper) but it looks like the whole countershaft was lifted from a Nuttall.
Cheers,
