guess ill be heading down there is weekend to see for myself.

I think its called Lonsdale Paint Supp, Go down South Rd until you get to Junk Food Junction just past reynella, then turn right at lights and crank down that road until you go over/under Southern Expressway and then just up on the right cant miss it!!

where can the public get automotive paint such as 2pac or do u have to be a business/trader?

yeah i dont know how keen paint places are on selling 2K products to general public. We use PPG at work, i can get that at trade prices. But usually i go to protec out at gillman (for my quick jobs), they manufacture all their own paint products (cheaper to manufacture, therefore cheaper to buy), and its quality stuff too. i know one of the guys there, so he always gives me stuff for better than trade prices.

So they would mix a custom paint code for you if they could? btw where is gillman, i cant be bothered looking it up atm. how much would paint all up cost me sam, an extimate, i was quoted from a guy just for 2pac was something like $400 is that around the ball park figure or was he talking out his ass. This wouldnt include the equipment required of course.

Gillman is where willall racing is, on the same road actually. yeah, custom paint no worries, gimme an idea of what you want and ill look it up at work & adjust the mix ie. more pearl or whatever. not 100% on prices, depends on how much of the car u want to paint ie, edges & all

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
