[quote]if your looking to actually paint it and not save the chromed surface then scuff it as best as you can, epoxy prime and paint it. the aluminum is no big deal but the chrome is usually a pia to dull out. instead of sanding you can lightly blast it to etch the chrome as well.[/quote]
thats what i always thought a light sand blast an prime would make it prime course ive never had ta shoot over chrome since back in the early 80s :blush: when it was the ragei sorta like it looks like somthing that could be handy for mechanical work…any car that you couldnt hang from the wheel studs ya wouldnt wanna drive :lol1 course i wouldnt wanna do that to a car with a full tank of gas an would also worry about the oil going where it shouldnt in the motor :blink:

[quote]There are several ways of doing it, and each will have his own preferred method.As you say, firstly I’d paper and tape up the insides. With most jambs you can get away with 6″ paper easily, but you could completely cover everything if you wished. Keep the masking around 1/2″ from the jamb edge, as you’ll sort this with the next stage.
This is where things vary a bit. The easiest option is to use to use a foam edge tape like the one from 3M. This looks basically like a piece of foam rope, with adhesive on one edge. This stuff blocks up the jamb gap to prevent overspray going inside, but one major downfall it has is that paint can stray onto the glue section and leave a hard edge against it.
To cure the above problem 3M have brought out a new advanced verson, which is more like a flat tube, and the glue edge is always kept well away from the jamb edge so there’s no chance of a hard edge. I use this stuff every day as it’s quick and effective.
Another more old school way is what we in the UKcall French Masking, but I think you guys have another name for it. I’ll take a length of 1″ tape, and fold about a quarter inch of it back on itself. This then leaves you with around a half inch of tape that you can stick down, but around a quarter inch ‘flap’ that doesn’t stick (jees this is hard to describe!!) Stick this tape so the your folded edge is right up to the edge of the jamb, and a small amount of paint will feather under it leaving you with no hard edge. If that lot doesn’t make sense, have a search for a new 3M product called transition tape. Basically it does exactly the same job, but they can charge a hell of a lot more for it! :lol1
If I’m doing a high quality job (rather than just my normal high speed production stuff), then I’ll use both of the above methods. Some french tape to stop the hard edge, and some of the foam to bridge the gap and prevent overspray going into the jambs (and just as importantly, stop dust and dirt blowing out!)
Hope that makes sense fella :huh:[/quote]
that was a good answer thanks for taking the time ta post that :cheer:i hate ta say this but ive been using the same hoses for over 15 yrs spend over 40$ an get some real hoses an ya mine are just rubber ones an ya they have been used hard stay away from cheap ones.. an they seem to last forever just my 2 cents ya get what ya pay for 😉
