If I need to get my rear quarter panel sprayed to get rid of some scratches, I was wondering how this is done.

Because of the design of the r33's (and all skylines) there is not actual join where the spray can stop cos the panel continues onto the roof and all over to the oher side of the car.

How is this done, would they stop somewhere and try to "blend" it into the orig paint?

Has anyone had this done? If so, how does it look?

Surely this doesn't mean tht half of the car needs to be sprayed to fix one quarter Panel!!!??

Okay yes they do blend it in that is one of the most common ways to do it and the best looking in one way or another. Depends on what colour the car is as well as over time paint fades etc which would show up on a black car for example. Most cases the darker the car the worse it will show up. With white cars its usally very hard to spot it.

over time we are talking over a couple years 2-3 or so depends how much time it spends in the hot sun. Its not bad that your car is black just its more possible for it to turn up (no spray painter can guarantee) it could or it might not be visible. They usually spray most of the rear quarter panel eg. half the car they usally stop before they get to the roof section.

Keeping your car out of the hot sun when parking etc also helps and keeping it polished and waxed up helps protect it abit.

Personally a silver car would be more of a problem hence the fact they have multiple colours etc in the silver paint which is almost impossible to match perfectly, which usally can show up after the spray has been done with a silver car blend if you look carefully.

How bout this dilemma,

Youve just had ure entire car resprayed in a nice silver/blue pearl. 2 days later, the person that lives next door, reverses into your rear 1/4.

Now, do you just get the rear 1/4 done, or, do u get both rear 1/4s done as well as the roof, as this will leave no blending marks.

I wasn't impressed to say the least.

Dude sorry to hear that. I was speaking to the guys where u got the paint job done (in penrith). Were u happy with the result?

If I were u I would be speaking to the guys that did your paint job and get their opinion. If its not too bad then u might be lucky and they will blend it. But either way i would be making the neighbour pay for it.

FK oath they'll be paying...the dude said he would, so ill give him a call tomorrow with the quote...better not cause me problems...meh anyway...

Ive actually been away since i got my car back and havn't gone thru *everything* yet. Ive given it a quick look over and its been great. Top work done by Trev and I'd easily say hes been the best sprayer ive dealt with (both quality craftsmanship and attitude/personality etc). Ill be dropping it off there tomorrow so if ure close, go down and take a look....If not i can email u pics that ive taken (not the best, but may give u an idea...). I'd go back without a doubt and all future cars ill put through him as well.

sounds about right.

im planning on getting my front bar, mirrors, rear bar, and now maybe rear quarter done. freshen it up, and i scraped my front car which is the main reason ;)

What colour is your car? i need some bits done and if its the same colour as mine we could get it cheaper together.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
