Recommended Posts

you do not understand the temptation to whore this thread... but i took some pills and they have calmed me down...

hehe j/k... yer i agree but i think we all should be allowed to have a bit of fun, but i agree that sometimes the whoring goes too far...

brain fart?

=============

rather than start a spam session and put ppl in the pit i will explain it in ur post... a brain fart is what is generally conceived in most ppls mind as a good idea... but often we find that this is incorrect and rather than stopping and thinking about what they are about to post they just wildly mash keys in an epileptic mannor which some how manage to resemble words and string together a somewhat half coherent sentence which neither adds to the original subject matter nor does it enhance our forum going precence and in fact makes us 10% dumber everytime we read it.

btw im not going to close this thread because i would like some feedback so long as it is warranted and productive... anything other than this will be removed.

just a reminder

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and everything so far seems ok. There have been a couple of warm welcomes and it's been great. Although I have been subjected to anyone's rudeness, and therefore haven't seen it myself, I can't really empathize with you guys. I do think however that it's great that you guys are acknowledging that there is a problem and are trying to do something about it. Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step (Gees that sounds like a line taken directly out of an A.A meeting!!!) But you have to remember that out of the number of ppl that have joined up to this forum there are bound to be a few spastics!! So TWO THUMBS UPS Inark!!! (by the way, I live in the suburb right next to you!!)

Keep it on topic guys. And try be a lil more sensitive to how others might feel about your comments, whether in jest or otherwise.

:D thanks for the input skygal its always welcome when its constructive which is what i want. I agree that there is bound to be the odd "idiot" but so long as people realise that just adding fuel to the fire and flaming them as much as they can isnt the best way to resolve things then it makes it easier to sort these issues out.

the great people on this forum far out weigh the troublesome and this is the way i'd like it to stay.

hey nark, is it possible to make it in such a way that only certain members, (e.g. ones that have been registered long enough, or made enough posts.) are able to create new threads?

i know on PF, i couldn't even post a reply to an item i wanted to buy until after 90 days after i registered... was irritating, but definately stopped my itchy fingers from spamming all the other threads about their prices.

probably but that would mean new ppl to the forums would not be able to post and i would prefer that they would be allowed to. In the for sale sections on most forums you find that there is a waiting period before you are allowed to post a new or even reply to a thread.

We should have a Elite Section. Like a second level? or maybe trusted members who have been active on the forums can create new threads? eg: 3 months probationary period who can only post in the for sale/wtb section then after that they can post?

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
