Still looking mate? 32 gtst in brissy

U have a wing already? Honestly, spend no more than 50 bucks and spray it urself, stock metallic black on the 32's code is 732, fine metallic, go have a look under cosmetic, styling n respray, step by step instructions there if ur not sure. Those wings are hard to come by, i searched for months.

Have the switch, where r u located? Im in brisbane

Randomhero has one, he's in brisbane, find him on the brisbane northside, aspley to caboolture thread

These steps are mainly for a repair, you'd skip past the first half for a respray, scuff up the old paint with 800 or something and apply primer from there. As for lightening paint, no can do mate, its paint fade. All you can do is make sure you either do an entire panel and blend to a line where light/reflection changes, or consider a full respray. A great finish on new work will be more noticable for the colour difference, so maybe dont buff as hard

Kept myself, looks better in white

Ok, so here's wat i've worked out so far. (excuse the obvious being pointed out, a mate of mine yesterday was sanding back a layer of paint from a front bar with the dry 60 grit sandpaper for timber) so i'll try be thorough. As much as the damage "doesnt look too bad" with some shiny paint left intact in places, be brutal. Its gomna be fixed, so dont try and preserve anything. Always easier to do a bigger area than blend a repair. I usually start with 220 grit (wet n dry for all this, paper or sander in one hand, bucket and sponge in the other) for taking back paint, but for removing old bog or fibreglass, might go down as far as 80. Take off a few layers of paint and see what you're up against, bog always binds better to bare metal too. You can obviously mix bog correctly, fill and shape, its the sort of thing you'll wanna let dry overnight to be sure its set, everything takes time. Fill holes with "metal fill" its a cross between fibreglass and bog. Harder to sand than bog, but so much stronger. Once overfilled (always over compensate the shape you want) start sanding back with either 220 or 600, depending on the area being done, 220 for something the sander is going to have a lot of movement over, 600 for finer areas and corners. Hopefully by now you have the shape you want, if not, repeat bog step above, only using 600-800 this time, being more particular to fine ripples or dips. "Spray Putty" in a can is a godsend. Its a spray on, fine layer bog ideal for getting rid of stone chips or scratches. Allow about 5 hours for a generous coat of this crap to dry though, it can also undo a lot of hard work by "peeling" the whole layer off if u sand with too much pressure before set overnight. Sand with 800 now, focusing on imperfections, air bubbles (you see these when the job is dry, so its important at this stage to keep washing down with water n sponge, and rag drying) and overall job finish. Ask yourself, is this ready for topcoat? By now it'll be looking pretty alright, but mulitcoloured. Base coat prime 2-3 coats now, and allow a few hours to dry. Now that its all 1 colour, you're probably cursing at those spots you didnt feel or see earlier, so again make friends with the spray putty and sander. Get it right at this stage, or no amoutt of polish at the end will get you out of the shit you end up with. Once happy, give a final coat in surface primer, allow to dry for a couple of hours, and give a light sand back with 1200 to smooth over. You're practically polishing it here, not removing paint, so focus on removing any scratches, and dont stay on the one spot too long. Wash with water and a sponge, allow to air dry, then use "prepwash" or similar to wash off remaining paint dust. Happy with how it looked buffing with that shiny liquid? No dents, good shape? Buff dry, and check for pinprick holes from air bubbles. Topcoat time. Any acrylic in a can will do, but autobarn can mix any auto colour to a paint code, usually no more than 30 bucks. 3 even coats, allow a few hours to dry, then 1200 it smooth, wash with sponge and water, prepwash and allow to dry. Clear coat is this process repeated, but dont touch with paper once sprayed. 48-72 hours is time required to dry for clear to be cut back. Start with 600 to remove orange peel look, then 1200 to remove the 600's scratches, then 3000 to remove the 1200's scratches. Finally buff with a cutting compound, and finish with a polish/wax. This was originally a PM, but good info to share here. Feel free to add anything i left out or go into more detail. Hope this helps.
