Hey guys,

I am looking for someone to spray a car. Its a VK shell that i need done. Not after anything flash. Just two pack. So backyard stuff is fine by me. Car is prepped (sorta) but i want the door jams done too (it still has the original colour. Bay needs to get done but that should be easy cos there is nothing in it. Let me know if you guys can do it or know someone that can. Thanks

Glenn

Dave at Gal Smash would be able to help you out in Tullamarine if ur willing to drive out there or that is your side of town... He does awesome work and fixed my car up a treat.. 93303137 tell him u know matt in the Yellow 33.. He'll look after you. As Mook1 said after all the mucking around a backyard job isn’t really worth it plus you run risks of dust etc in the pain which you dont want...

i could do it...! but you know once you buy all the paint and stuff and f**k around for half a day its worth getting a pro to do it.. paint alone will b over a grand.

$1000 for paint, no way, unless youre buying glasruit, you could get everything you need from protek for less than $500

what crack have you been smoking..?

you need like 5lt to do a whole car. so you recon you can get 5lt of paint all the thiners and hardener you need, safety gear so you don't end up in hospital. for 500.. i got all this stuff for my front bar and it cost like 200 and i got 1lt... so 200 x 5lt = $1000.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
