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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
