where can i get my centre console plastics painted profesionally?

preferably around the north/western suburbs

thanks

What about getting them wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl? :thumbsup:

ive actually thought about wrapping it in carbon fibre vinyl that i saw someone selling a while ago...wonder who that was :P but it would probably then need re-wrapping after a while... not bothered for it

Jetdat that looks alright. ive had a go myself many times before, can never get it right :P the paint either peels off or is uneven etc etc so i just wana get it done properly

just need to use the right paint (paint shops will help with this) and do the prep work (cleaning with right solvent, etc) and take time with even coats..

but if you want it done professionally i would call around upholsterers/interior places rather than panel shops.

+1 on the carbon wrap i saw a guy on firesport.com he comes to your house and does it for you when i get some cash iam ringing him up

lols, thats me.... on firesport......

Anyway, lemme know if you need anything :D

PS. I only come to your house if your "parts" are too big to drop off at mine :(

Oh by the way, here's my blog of some of my work :worship:

ahem

just read through your blog. sif the rear bar thing was tried on your car first. was on mine biatch lol

also im getting a rid of the gtr spoiler soon and just gettling a lip, my boot has holes in it for the extra mounting points for the gtr wing and i cant be bothered getting them filled and painted, what would it cost to do the whole boot and lip, as in cover the boot and lip together so it all looks like one piece not the boot and lip seperate and then bolt them together?

how much thicker is the iphone after being done, will it still fit in holders designed for the iphone, i know that with a cover it wont fit.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
