--- Quote from: chasmosis on September 17, 2004, 08:45:57 am ---I just saw this license plate the other day. W0DFK The second character was specifically a zero, it had a slash thru the center. Took me a little bit to figure it out. It makes more sense when you remember that some people use the word "ought" for the zero (hint: WTF). Here and I thought they made you explain the reference on personalized plates in my state. --- End quote --- here the plate choices are submitted to a panel of geriatrics. problem there is that they aren't 'hip' to what's new. they passed '---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?---' for instance until people complained!! (it was a little old lady who had that). and i've seen PNKBTS which is supposed to be 'pink bits'. again, old farts have no idea. i had thought of trying them on with an aboriginal equivalent of a four letter word!! |

--- Quote from: giskiwi on September 16, 2004, 07:14:15 am --- Having worked in a paint shop for six and a half years, although this was a few years ago, I would tend to disagree with the quote by danny_galaga. Generally, any paint can go over any primer - water over oil and oil over water - or so I was taught here in NZ. As for the paint types: Acrylic/Latex/Water-base are all water-thinned; Alkyd/Enamel/Oil-base are all turps-thinned. Apart from these types, there is also lacquer (as previously noted by another poster), automotive and marine paints. In the city where I live, a local joinery company has used automotive paint on kitchen cabinets, with great results. Hope this helps. giskiwi AFTERTHOUGHT: water-base/acrylic is preferable as primer on mdf, oil-base/enamel can soften and degrade the glues etc used in the manufacture of the mdf. --- End quote --- thats cos in NZ you use boiled down kiwis for paint!! hehe. i'm confused now too, because i used to work in a hardware shop where i mixed paint. but you know, maybe im thinking of where if you have an old house and the walls are painted in enamel, then you cant just put acrylic on the top of it- needs a compatible primer... whatever the case is, it IS true that enamel is more durable than acrylic still. i used acrylic purely because it was easier an faster... |
