My offering is a refurb of two virgo alloy wheels, started last June and not quite finished now. It was supposed to be a simple rattle can job with a good brushing off with wire brush and a decent finish by means of layers and wet n dry.
Started in June 2018. Aborted as they were tatty and I ran out of time just prepping. Resumed August but aborted as family member was admitted to hospital in an emergency. Almost resumed in November but rattle cans had become buried in a house move. Resumed in March, by now mice had nibbled the paint so it needed taking back to primer. Corrected that but ran out of time for lacquer. April, applied the lacquer to find that it drew yellow primer through to the surface in patches. Corrected that this weekend, but a water pipe burst as the lacquer was curing and it peppered one wheel in little droplets. So one down, one to go!

Definitely CURSED.
Send them to me for spares, I use Virgos.
And mice eating wheel paint?
Beelzeebub indeed.
