  2. so your going to make your lovely women happy after all huh?dont be a stranger!havent seen ya in a while....congrates
  3. it is a very special day indeed.....my birthday
  4. just change the male and female ends of it....jaycar or dick smith have matching plugs
  5. the vibration is the fact that one or more coils/cylinders is not firing at all.....to find out which ones are the culprits let the car idle(when its playing up) and take the injector wires off one by one.....you will find that there will be ones that eitheir make the car stall(the good ones) and one's that dont make a diffrence (the evil ones)
  6. pearls are simple....the painter should use a black base with one dust coat of pearl over the top,then clear
  7. its the coils.....they are intermitant.....this is quite a common problem on 34's....In my first post i didnt realise thats what you had
  8. there not "chips" They are flakes ....candy system is a 3 or more overlay coats....Meaning a groundcoat is put down first followed by a transparent overcoat,followed by clear....the best way to describe it is a layer of cellophane(spelling???)The ground coat is very important to the result of the effect you are trying to acheive...for instance a fine mettalic pink ground coat under a candy red will show up less orange than a coarse mettalic pink...this is due to the flake size having less "candy area"...With our oem bike colours even the solids use candy system....so its not limited to mettalic colours.....people say candy colours cant be blended but we do it all the time...its due to experience and trial and error...So the problem is not only the ground coat its also the application of the candy dye itself....One drop of shit in the dye leads to disaster,the drop of shit breaks the surface tension and the dye pools around the shit leading to a splotch thats much darker than the job,i try to keep candy dye to a two coat limit on edge to egde repairs(where our painted panel meets directly with an original one)If you lean on the dye to much you can find yourself in a world of shit...Example if i want a dark candy blue i use a groundcoat thats dark enough to only require 2 coats of the dye broken down in clear to give the candy depth/flip effect because if you use a silver and push the dyes limit by trying to darken the colour with candy your going to get "train tracks" or "patchyness"on the job...lighter dyes is not much of a problem because to change a silver to orange is not such a big swing....but to change a silver to a dark blue youve got no chance....sometime we have triple candy jobs with a pearl thrown in between one of the dye's.....candy system's really sort out the tradesmen from the monkeys....but they are the invention of the devil for spray painters
  9. going through my shit and found some old pics....so i have colaborated the evolution of trike hood to add to this old thread It starts at and early age(me on the right) Then moves on to the motorized type And then here Then it finally ends here
