Acrylic drys faster than 2 pac and is also the only one that can be legaly sprayed outside a booth as well .

This job can be done at home with the right equipment but if its not the right product you can do some serious damage to yourself or others around you .

Best advise would be to do it in 2 pac using clear over base but use satan clear and hire a booth .

the new 2 pacs actually dry quicker than acrylics, much faster.

I've just finished spraying my 31 in 2pac, home job.

7 minute flash off, 20 mins and you can sand it & recoat, maximum of 6hrs before you re-coat.

the '2pac' base coats are basically a fast dry enamel, 7 min flash, 20 - 40 min re-spray.

yes, we did use all the right breathing equipment, full face masks with Isocyanide filters. If you are doing a spray job MAKE SURE that you have a face mask that covers your eyes and filters that are Isocyanide safe - they cost more than normal particle or chemical filters.

    • My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913
    • Here it is nice and clean and for shits n giggles he's the clearly structural piece of trim it was holding down. 😬    
    • A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.
    • Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.
    • Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
