Hi guys..

Posted this earlier today but it seems to have randomly vanished so I'll start another!.

I was washing my car before, and some of the white paint stuff that's used for drawing your numbers on at deca flaked and and seems to be stuck to my paint.. So I have little white specks all down the gaurd of the black car :D:(:O... does anyone know the easiest/best way to get this stuff off without destroying the paint at all??

Cheers.

tongue works wonders :O

Dont use kitchen towel like my first efforts at the November DECA, ended up with the window being more of a mess than with the number on there! BTW ordinarilly I wouldnt have considered using it but it was all that was available in the cabin and Viva is supposed to be strong!

I normally just scrape it off with a blade. Mine are still on though at the moment until I get the car back.

LOL wtf are you all on about? Bit of water on an old towel, came off no problems.

If i used something that cost money the car might get the idea that I care :O

Dave dont be silly the car knows that you dont care!!!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
