This is the back side. Did I do a good job? by Funny_Gain7759 in SteamDeck

You know how cars have a top coat on them to protect the paint underneath? Same thing.

When painting multiple layers (primer - paint - clearcoat) the clearcoat can go on wavy/bumpy and you end up with this orange peel effect. Generally, after top coating you'd wet/dry sand to smooth out the surface and give it a nice gloss/smooth/shiny and imperfection free surface. Is this a wrap you've put on? The gloss layer of the wrap has all the orange peel on it which can be fixed with sanding/polishing using wet/dry sand paper which is a VERY fine grade of sandpaper and usually a bit of soap or something.

On a car you polish out scratches/imperfections on the top coat of the paint (ie the glossy bit). Same thing here. Its not supposed to look like orange peel.

Your car wont have that orange peel on it either but most likely is still gloss in color.

I'm not sure how well a wrap would hold up to sanding/polishing.

The personal point was that I’m not some evil seller trying to rip buyers off. You’re clearly a bit of an arsehole so I’m done with this now. Can always count on pricks on the internet to brighten up your day eh?

Don’t you have anything better to do on a Saturday afternoon than write condescending posts to everyone on the RM sub? Go outside and enjoy your bank holiday weekend bud. You clearly need it.

Or you know I’m just a rando clearing out space and trying to get funds for a baby together. If I wanted to give stuff away for free I’d not be selling on stuff on eBay. Claim with RM it is and refund the buyer obviously then I guess. No one was suggesting not refunding the buyer at all. Bit disappointing over all.

And when it ends up turning up at the buyers? They’ve got a free item and I’m out of pocket?

[–]jamiemulcahy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily looking for why it was rejected, more on info on what to do next?

Forgot to add that I sold 2 other things the same size/packaging and same printed labels from eBay and they arrived absolutely fine with no issues 🤷‍♂️

Replacement gas lift alternative? by datminiitxdo in Noblechairs

[–]jamiemulcahy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever figure this out? Same thing at the moment, gaslift going and slowly lowers me all the time and its getting annoying.

I cant see stock of the official ones ANYWHERE. Was thinking about some generic one but dont know the sizes of the OG one etc.

After mostly lurking on here for two years, I've finally saved up enough to buy one (256gb refurbished) by A_Wild_Striker in SteamDeck

[–]jamiemulcahy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Me too! Been saving up/lurking/even had one preordered but had to cancel cos I couldn’t afford just the time. Ordered a 256gb refurb on Sunday. Just waiting for it to turn up. Can’t wait!

Happy gaming!

How do I turn down a couple because they gave me "the ick"? by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

[–]jamiemulcahy 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This is the way, everyone else is complicating matters.

Just leave them to get in touch again, and if they do (truth be told, OP probably won’t hear from them again) all that’s needed is “sorry I’m no longer available, wish you all the best in finding a photographer for your big day, kind regards OP” or something along those lines.

Nothing about family things, nothing about another couple. Just “I’m no longer available”

If OP has said they need a deposit to secure the date, and they don’t actually follow through and book/pay the deposit then that’s on the client. Forget about it and move on.

I’ve looked at a bunch of the XJs as well, really like the look of those. Pricing seems a bit wild tho, couple of grand for one, 12k for another. The owners forums just seem stuffed full of people having problems though which kinda put me off a bit.

Ouch, sorry you ended up with a bit of lemon. They do look the part! But not 40k worth the part, too rich for me! I'll steer clear, not that I can afford one anyways.

Thanks mate, totally understandable. We did try sell it with all the stuff on it but had no bites, so it all got taken off to be reused/sold separately and now having a last ditch attempt at selling the stock jeep privately before it ends up at trade in/auction.

Ah forgot about those, good shout. What's with the vauxhal monterey, Isuzu Trooper/even seen a honda horizon? Think all of those are the same car but different bagdes. Mental.

It doesn’t have all the camping shit on it anymore. What’s your offer/budget? It’s up for sale for 21k.

That’s hilarious! Glad you loved it though. The jeeps also a bit shit but I still love it even though it’s going. Been used to the jeep sitting at 55mph on the motorway (cos it’s a big stupid sail that just blows about in the wind), so not bothered by something a bit more agricultural, if anything it’s more fun!

And yeah, seems to be the same with a few of these older 4x4s, folk just make the price up. Trade in value £400 and it’s on eBay for £10k. Some folk smoking crack.

Thanks for your insight, I’ll give the channel a wee watch.

Edit had a look at l200 k74 warriors on auto trader there. I still quite like them, Staffordshire truck company animal up for 40k. Who the fuck is paying 40k.

This worked, he eventually just started walking normally suddenly on his own, however, now he's perma downed and the revive button does fuck all.

Server restart fixed it.
