Random Paint Job

People have probably seen this but:

One way of covering up any signs of bed wear..

I used to have a neighbour who was a professional spray painter, and very skilled he was too.

But when he was doing a quick job with minimum prep he'd say "I'll give it a bit of a squirt".

Looks like he's been here.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272575900232

Amazing .

I'd like to see it working before I buy it please...

Gulp. I don't know whether to laugh or cry over that abomination.

Oh well, at least he didn't say 'refurbished'.

£700 and he has not included the chocolates tin in the flash over!

It realy does make you wonder what goes through peoples heads when they do things like this - and hes

(I assume a he!) not even painted the underside of the plug!

The last picture has the poor thing sitting in a back garden so I would presume it was painted to protect it from the elements

It looks like he ran out of paint while doing the flex. After a fine rub down, I'm sure he'll get the plug on the second coat

Methinks he bought a duffer & wants shot of it quick, just given it a cursory flash over by the looks of it, inc. the bedways & couldn't be bothered to even move the stuff off the back of the tray, still see the previous 'green' ? colour where he/she has skirted around with the spray gun.
Steer clear I would say unless someone has the facilities/time/finances for a complete strip down / rebuild... I could be wrong...?

Every time I think, "How can anyone be so daft, Someone else lowers the bar."

I thought LSD was illegal.??

Nick

Can't believe the chuck was missed.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I know who the seller is now.

There was a member here asking advice about painting a chuck the other week. Seems like he took the advice posted on his forum and did not paint it.

Nick

I would actually quite like that there chuck for my L5

Has anyone got the cojones to ask the seller a question? Such as "Why?"

Think I will ask him for "A buy it now" price. - I will get back to you if I get a reply.

"Hi
I don't have a buy it now price. It's my late grandfather's lathe and I've just put it on for auction as I don't know what price to expect
