cheers mate..i was going to use my spray gun and not a can...any brand that you recommend? so just 8:1 thinners

Profile 2K is the brand

check your local auto paint suppliers for the brands they have.

8 base 1 thinners 1 hardner

as a 2K primer requires a hardener. check the label for the primer you choose ALSO ensure you are given the correct reducer for the primer given as some reducers can cause the primer to over harden which is a MAJOR pain in the ass

Used to paint ships... when I quit I had the shakes, was getting blood noses, almost constant hayfever.. And thats with decent respirator. Even sanding I had to use the full kit. Nasty stuff.

That said, the paint job off the gun looks absolutely fantastic.

Hey guys, i have just bought a fibreglass grille for my R33 and its a standard white.

I need to spray it silver to match the car.

Can someone jot down some steps in what to do, and also what kind of sandpaper, primer, and what paint 2pak/acrylic?

Cheers, much appreciated

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
