Pete, painting colorbond is a bastard depending on the actual orig powder mix, lot of times the paint just starts to bubble and flake/lift. .. you can etch primer it then paint but that's expensive. ..
,
Is colour actually faded/gone or is it just white chalky over the top? .. if so..

Best result for low price I've seen is floor cleaner and scrub/scourer pads (the green ones you use for non stick cookware) ... or if you have access to air comp and air power buffer/grinder type unit, get a larger sheet of the green stuff and make a disc of it instead of the buffer cloth, still using floor cleaner....

Then when all the whitish gunk is gone and you not sick of the process... give it a spray coat of (cheap) urethane car polish (nu finish 2001 is reasonable. .. bright green bottle) and a quick wipe down... ideally you coat it again every year or so but depends on your sq mtr total and care factor

BTW janx i tried the pancakes with sour cream and honey. = EPIC

Cheers Janx, got it all scrubbed down with sugar soap yesterday and a whole lot of the colour just came straight off along with years of dirt... at this stage I think we'll scrub it down as best we can and give it a coat of paint so I can call it done, then if it starts to peel I can scrub it back some more and go again in 12 months time... got just over a week 'til I'm back at work so I wanna get the thing done 

But now for the real exciting stuff... paid a visit to a couple of mates yesterday and Kat Korner in the garage now looks like this:

peteGS, you're my hero. 

Wrenching and more wrenching. This is the true purpose of life!
I myself am waaaaay over-due for a project. well hell, what am I saying??? I'm way over-due for a simple ride.

Thanks for posting the pics! I love a shop crowded with parts. 

I kinda' like these emoticons too. 
Just saying

Aaron

Hahahah me too EJ!!! 

How about more pic's?

Proof I really am building a Kat...



And the shed is close to getting a roof...

Hmmmm DDP FTW time 

DTP FTW perhaps?

No 4 banger for you though matey!

He's a busy fellow. 

Hahaha no no 4 banger... dammit! Hahaha

Busy alright! I need to go back to work for a holiday...



Not far to go now...

Oh no another DDP FTW!!!!! 

The shed has a complete roof and tin on the front... bit of finishing off to do above the doorway then it's door time today 

Then of course I'm up to getting an electrician it in to wire it up...

That's exciting, Pete!!

Digging through my coin collection found a 1913 and 1914 imperial german 1 pfennig coin surprised me being a century old still has amazing detail
Aaron

And here I was thinking I was old... 

found a 1938 1 pfennig nazi germany. and a 1923 tunisian franc as well as a uk new pence. thought about liquidating some of these, but the nazi pfennig came over with my great grandfather he came over just prior to ww2. as 2nd mate on queen mary. so that one stays. the imperial pfennigs im not sure. he was a young man in germany at that point.

You are old Pete! ... but the coins are olderer!

Damn I hate it when you're right!!!!

Shed doors are just about done, had a short storm last night... need to sort drainage on the high side... was quite wet inside when I checked it last night. I knew that would be an issue, just haven't gotten around to putting a gutter in there yet. Water runs down the gap between the slab and brick wall and has no place to go except in the shed, a bit of gutter will solve that 

a gutter topside and a french drain on the perimeter. will solve this. also consider sealing the seams ( silicone?)
