okay guys im in a dilemma, my car has a few stripped bits that i patched up wit a spray can. im thinking about getting a full car respray but the same white colour.

or i can just get those parts resprayed. is there a price difference in between a colour change and a simple respray in factory colour? also do you need to strip mirrors doors and things for a respray in factory colour?

seen a few aftermarket coloured lines last night.. some of them are pure sexy.

what way should i go?

dude, unless you get a really good painter the matching will be al off if you do little bits here and there! not saying it cant be done, but it's hard to do! up to you, but really depends on the paint condition now.

on the second question, if you do a full respray it depends on what extent you take it but it wont be cheaper because it's a standard colour, only difference is the quality paint you use!!

personally i would do a custom/different colour again any day, just keep it simple and neat and you cant go wrong! im biased though :P

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
