Hi all,

I grazed my rear bumber when backing out of my driveway :cheers: I'd like to know the best place to get touch up paint for my car. Its pearl white (QT1), i've called around to the dealerships and they do not sell QT1 in any form be it spray cans or touch ups. I've done some google searches but the only place i can seem to obain the paint is from the USA for around $16.00USD with $80.00USD shipping - Big rip off really.

Any suggestions??

I've also noticed minor rust around my center tail light on my boot around the rubber seal, has anyone experienced this and if so what is the fix? Can i just put heaps of black sealant and hope i will "seal" the rust so it will no spread?

Cheers

Any automotive paint supply shop should be able to mix the paint for you if you give them your paint code.

And no, covering up the rust won't make it go away. If its deep rust, you need to grind the rust out. If its surface, you can get off the shelf rust treatment.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it

      So, my intake arrived  I'm not happy with the coating finish so I went to Supercheap and got some black wrinkle paint and some prep stuff I was initially thinking about using grey wrinkle paint, but finding a quality product that gives the texture I want was "unfindable...", so the tried and tested black wrinkle paint is again finding its way into the engine bay for the OEM look I'll sneakily head into work and get the big ovens cranking to cure the paint over the next week or so I've also contacted MX5 Mania today to talk about the install and tune, so painting it is my "main effort" prior to sending the car off In other news, the correspondence from the US supplier is fair to midling to say the least, I'm still trying to track down the intake box thingie with the larger intake pipe to suit the throttle body, it still is "awaiting fulfilment" (no stock currently available), if it isn't here soon I'll just get MX5 Mania to fabricate up a CAI that is easy to service the air filter
