Hi all, I finally got around to painting my bodykit. I'll have to say, I learned a lot while doing it. Also my old man had some handy advice to give as well. Here are some of the things I found The thinner you make the paint, the less likely it'll run but need more layers. The thicker paint makes it easier to get that nice shiny look but boy it was hard to keep it in one place The side skirts i painted had thicker paint and it was easier to get that glossy look if done right. By the time I got around to doing the front bar, I was running low on the paint so I had go easy, couldn't afford to ruin it and sanding back and wasting more paint. First time around I didn't seem to mix the paint too well, it all came out blotchy, so make sure you mix it up for a good 10 minutes. Also handy to have a CLEAN garage. Mine was so dusty no matter how hard I tried to clean it, it was ridiculous but it still worked out in the end. I applied one coat of flexi primer stuff, about 3 coats of the color paint and 2 coats of clear coat. I had to go hard on clear coat, it seems to work well if you give it THICK layer, it'll give off that shiny look. Didn't seem to do much if you just sprayed it thin. So I might have to go find myself another couple of cans clear coat for the front bar. Also added the mesh grill, the front mesh make the car look soo good.... Edit - Added some Nismo Stripes on the side !!!!! like OMG...

yeah parents rented it for convenience.....40 steps to everything you'll ever need.....on the down side.....house is absolute SHIT

Idiot or retard....take your pick

I'm sure we'd be seeing the R35 in gold soon when top secret gets one....and a black HKS one....hahahah im just dreaming...but hope it comes true

oh my........this suspense is killing me

wow, these HKS turbos sure are tough......I heard the mines gtr runs 27 or 28 psi through them........

last time I went, there weren't and scrutineers, just sign, pay, play.

I am IN for one of these days........been waiting for a weekend Oran PArk GP for AGES.....finally..... so who else is going?

gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.........i love people who race GTRs

add me to the PM list, just incase thanks

just show up in a commodore with your cuz and see what the whole shit is about........................baseball bat and all

yes well I didin't realise that before.......so not selling it now.

Man, Alonso should just shut up and sign already, he doesn't deserve the amount he's asking. He has no loyalty. He already had a winning team, but decided to leave. Went to Maclaren, also a winning team. Left that too. Good on renault for demanding a min 3 year contract and the amount less than that asked by Alonso. They have the upper hand now so use it and show him who the boss really is.

I've noticed there are dots appearing underneath the avatars.............what do they mean?

wake up smasha, post up some pics

if he's on the forum then he'll get a severe verbal rape by all. And now he's made it quite clear to everyone that he is insufficient downstairs.

Wow.....gorgeous looking rims.

Look at the traders on this forum they sell plenty of kits for cheaper price.

nah this isn't a pizza cruise, I'm just recruiting suckers for the defect station thats going to be set up in teh carpark. I'm working with the local cops, I get $5 a defect, so I'd be few hundred dollars richer by the end of the night. Don't be shy now, come one come all!!! and make me rich.
