My car and it's infamous bonnet are now booked in to be painted the week after the Skidpan.

My dilemma is that I had an idea in my head to paint the car in it's original silver and then have a blue pearl over the top.

This is VERY expensive and it would be much simpler and cheaper to find a new car with a silver/pearl paint and just give B&I the name of the car and colour and they will find it and paint my car.

So I need ideas and examples of current model (or within the last few years) cars that are silver with a metallic or pearl undertone.

I am looking at the new BA Falcon today as this series has a nice silver pearl. Have also been told that Mazda has a colour in the 6 range as well.

Thanks for any help.

Dave

Ferrari or BMW silver would be nice.

Who is doing the job.

You should have a talk to Carey at showdown customs 3353 1260, he did a black and pearl purple on my Torana for $3500.

Very happy with it and had the car back in six weeks not six years like some places.

Not the best pic to bring out the true colour as it was very cloudy that day.

B&I at Geebung are doing it. Several show cars I know were done there. If I can find the paint, they will put it on. If it becomes a case of applying blue pearl over the base, then it gets more expensive.

My "simple respray" will be around the $4500 mark. But I have watched them work on a 350Z and it was magic. Have already spoken to me about the window rubbers as they are certain the old ones will break on removal. They were very helpful with all my questions and were recommended by people I respect. I didn't want a $2k bodgy job. I want a paint job I will want to take care of. Like Karen's.

P.S. The 350Z silver is bloody beautiful and winning so far. And the new HSV "Morpheus" was a candidate for a while, but seeing as how I'm just doing an outside respray, it wasn't viable. Pretty though!!

Dont forget to ask them to leave it out side in the acid rain between clear coats !!!

then you can get that cool un washed look all over!!

Oh , I vote 350Z silver !

then go and get some red and black check nismo decals made up.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
