Hey guys check the attachment what do you think of that guide.. Found it after a bit of google searching, anyone have any good guides on prepping for a paint job?

Been looking around to get Bayside Blue TV2 paint.. everytime i quote that they say is it Blue Metallic, is that the same as Bayside Blue? Im clueless when it comes to paint.. How many litres would i be looking at? Its 1:1 for clear isnt it.. So eg. 3 Litres of Paint, 3 Litres of Clear.. I think they said i need hardener or something also anyone know what else i'd need?

Thanks

Do i need an aircompressor/spray gun? Im not painting the car im just prepping yet.. I've got nothing i really need to get everything from scratch and start doing it im sick of having the money and not having my car done yet! I got my body kit friday and after 3 hrs of angle grinding still couldnt fit the front bar on! even the side skirts didnt fit and DMD told me they'd pre-fit it and make sure its a perfect fit as well so ahhh so annoyed..

Different brands of paints are mixed differnetly, basecoat and clear are useally mixed on a 2:1 ratio (2 parts color or clear, 1 part hardner, 10% thinners)

Fibreglass bodykits never fit correctly we had a R33 GTS-T and it had a fake veilside kit, nothing lined up it took a whole day to get it on then to paitn prime, rub and paint took another day, it's best to get a pro to do it, i'll be doing my car whenever i get it but thats because i know what i'm doing. It's not hard to get it ready or paint it but you have to know what your doing and if you want your car perfect it wouldn't be the best car to practise on.

Looks like i'll be heading to Showtime custom Automotive in Clayton.. One of my mates is good mates with him, so he's giving me a discount to about 3K for the paint job from black to (and ive been specific on the paint i want) GTR R34 Bayside Blue.. Also gonna be de-badging the car, then welding where the bages have been taken off, takeing off the spoiler and welding those holes as well..

Getting extras done as well so ill be getting everything done for a good price such as stitching on my leather seats, re-trimming my stock gearknob/handbreak knob/steering wheel... fixing the few air bubbles in the uphosterey.. fitting the vertex kit.. gonna be a 2 week job.. car will look brand new when i get it =] better that they take longer then how long other shops have quoted me since they'll be most likely putting extra work into it.. especially since my mate is really good mates with him..

If i knew how i'd do it all myself.. but yehh just dont have the knowledge and i dont wanna go messing with it so might as well pay so that my car looks mint... looking forward to picking up my brand new car when its all done end of june/early july.. Will post pics :wub:

besides the guy spouting crap... wouldn't water marks be etchings that are left behind 1) AFTER (not during) the car has been sprayed 2) after it's rained? how the fudge are you getting "water marks" otherwise in the spray process??

water marks/etchings are mineral deposits left behind once the rain dries, this then etches into the clearcoat. This is a maintenance matter for the OWNER. Obviously having a healthy sealant or wax will prevent this etching process, and if it does etch a bit, it's taking place in the sacrificial layer (sealant/wax) so there is nothing to worry about. And of course this can be rectified via paint correction as well (polishing)

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
