Hi SAU peeps,

Just thought I would share my freshly painted 33 GTR valve covers! It was a freezing day here in Melbourne, so had a few heat lamps going off in the shed keeping me warm and the paint.

3 coats of base (colour)

5 coats of clear

I stuffed up on the timing belt cover (minor run), I will blame the cold weather, not the fact that I tripped on the compressor hose and got a little to close :blush:. Will lightly rub the timing belt cover back next weekend and splash another few coats of colour and clear.

That looks sweet as!

I wanted to paint my covers that same color too!

So I assumed you paint stripped the black paint off then went ahead with the spray paint?

What type of paint did you use and what's the colour name?

Even tho' this deserves to be in the "Cosmetic" section, you've done a really great job on these Jason.

Well Done :P !

Wrong section, I see! Excuse me as I am new to SAU. Thanks mate, took me ages in this cold weather, but very happy with the result.

A few minor specs of dust particles, nothing major though!

Yeah I paint stripped them back to bare alloy, thoroughly cleaned them inside and out.

The paint is called Chrysler 'PHZ' Pearl Candy Apple Red. I do not have the paint code though. Quote this name and they should be able to make this up for you. Cost me $50 per 500ml and I didn't even use 250ml.

I wanted to acheive the R34 GTR cover colour, but could not find a paint code for this anywhere, so just went off my sight and this was the outcome. Think I guessed quite well.

Also the paint brand was HiChem.

Yeah awesome man!

Thanks for that.

The colour looks pretty close to the R34 GTR covers, which is what I like.

Welldone!

Looks friggin mad!

Cheers! Ha, everywhere I pull up, I pop the bonnet just to have a cigarette a look at it! It's a a good excuse to check my oil and water all the time!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
