Hello and welcome!

you'll have to prepare the frame first. you could try a local bodyshop

you know the one man band type. they might like a change from cars. might do it cheaply and properly for you. and will get any colour you want

BexieID · 26/02/2009 09:05

MIL is into dye stuff and printing, she did it as a job in a factory, so hopefully we could create a work of art bewtween us. If not, the parts would be usefull anyway. Or she can have it for walking the dog with Tom. Knowing my luck, the lady has sold it, lol. Off out all day soon as well.

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 09:05

Oh dear, this will be stuck in my head now.

I bet DH could do it, he likes a 'project'

Grrrr Bexie!

SparklyGothKat · 26/02/2009 09:07

The frame is fine, Dh and me spent the day respraying the black parts. Its the fabrics that are the problem..

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 09:07

Anywhere nice Bexie?

Looks gloomy here today, need to go get nappies, don't fancy it pissing it down on me though.

My covers are black anyways so wouldn't have to do anything there.

BexieID · 26/02/2009 09:07

Yes, DP knows a one man band type, lol. I'm not suure what he'd say about spray panting a buggy though, lol. We'll see.

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 09:09

Anyone know how you 'prepare' frame for spraying?

Just out of interest of course

BexieID · 26/02/2009 09:11

Off shopping with MIL & SIL.

Sorry dis, i've been thinking about it all night, lol. My main reason for getting it is for the basket anyway. Madness, but not having one is doing my head in. Then as the covers are like that, I won't feel bad for ruining a perfectly good buggy. I could always swap frames/covers with mine.

ridingjoker · 26/02/2009 09:28

to prepare the frame it has to be "rubbed down" as my brother calls it (he's got a bodyshop). which basically involves sanding it to remove old paint and then it leaves it porous so the paint sticks to it.

this should stop it rusting/flaking in a yr or so.

you will also need to put a protective layer on it to stop salt/grit/mud/water from damaging your paintwork.

onemanband types love these kind of things with weird objects. might take them a couple of weeks as they will do it in spare time as a hobby if you want it cheap. if you want it done as proper "job" in couple of day then you'll get charged working hourly rate.

Hi ladies, been lurking on this board for a few weeks now but just come across this chat thread. Would it be ok to join you? I'm a bit of a pram obsessive too but normally post on another board.

ridingjoker · 26/02/2009 09:41

hi pebbles,

so what is currently keeping you obsession??

what pram are in current rotation

pebbles79 · 26/02/2009 09:44

I've currently got an Infinity with 3 sets of covers, lol and I'm waiting on a new hood and footmuff coming from Snunkie! I also had a Luna. Recently sold a Moon Kiss and my beloved Powertwin but thankfully it means I can now concentrate on singles as my DS2 is happily using the buggy board!

pebbles79 · 26/02/2009 09:44

Sorry, meant I currently have a Luna, not had!

claret1980 · 26/02/2009 09:56

Morning!

Have checked my tracking & hopefully buzz shoud be here this morning. Now just need a footmuff!

Anyone got one? Snunkie/buzz footmuff?

Sold our car in the end to the guy who had orginally said he didn't want it. He is coming on Saturday morning to pay and collect it. So now after a 7 seater. Anyone got one for sale? Galaxy or Renault Espace.

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 10:08

Hiya,

girls Im pancking

I'm really sorry, if I'm wrong and don't want to offend anyone but Im worried about my cam.

I bought it off a mumsnetter and she seems so lovely, and shes a regular and I really don't think that she would be a scammer but my husband didn't want me to do it that way and now hes going on at me and making me panick! Im sure theres a reason, but he keeps going on at me saying Im daft for doing it!

sent the money yesterday, through bank transfer, and no email from her yet, but she was on MN last night so must have got my emails?

She gave me a phone number, just rang it and its not a phone number - not recognised.

Shes posted on this thread, so just hoping she will see this and email me so my DH will stop going on at me!! And put his mind at rest!

Feel awful posting this but hes got me worrying now!

pebbles79 · 26/02/2009 10:19

Is it worthwhile me signing up for the 'for sale' boards on here? Do you all sell quite alot on them? Or is it best just to stick to ebay?

claret1980 · 26/02/2009 10:20

Don't worry hun, I'm sure she will email you soon.

SparklyGothKat · 26/02/2009 11:03

I was going to swop my elite MB with LL's cam but her email keeps locking her out and she couldn't get back to me.

nicolamumof3 · 26/02/2009 11:15

im sure its fine dis don't panic

if sell zapp and xlr that will leave me with nothing! im not worried as could go buy luna mix from m&p then and i will have funds to order my mb on monday so shouldn't be pramless. i doubt either will sell tho at the moment. had quite a run of selling this week and got nice amount in pp for once!

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 11:16

Ahh really?

Maybe thats it,

its not me, lol. I was cool with it, thinking maybe her kids ill... but then DH put his insppector clueso hat on and started going on about a load of crap and made me panick1 lol

Thanks SGK.

SparklyGothKat · 26/02/2009 11:26

she was going to meet me with it, so I think she is legit

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 11:30

I think so too,

not her fault, just down to some bad experiences on the forsale board, make people paranoid

DivamakesKimchi · 26/02/2009 12:11

disenchanted, dont worry, i think its normal to worry when you spend loads money, once i posted pram out, and realised i havent been paid. im talking about 300pounds. i think she is geniune.
everyone wants moss mb fot he summer
i fancy moss,too. other colosrs dont seem to appeal for some rwason. i like plusm,though.
sgk, do you know where to get console like yours from? are they from usa?

SparklyGothKat · 26/02/2009 12:13

I got mine from the USA ebay. was about £12 IIRC.

are you still after a green liner??

DivamakesKimchi · 26/02/2009 12:20

i thought i need green liner for moss covers[not bought yet] i bought green universal liner other day wonder that will do? are selling gree one,too?
