Craig, the black cow looks hilariously (awesome) on the track!

I "Forever Black'ed" the plastic trim on the ARX. Looks heaps better than previously. The trim was previously grey from too much sun baking. Went over everything 2-3 times so it's all pretty black. Took forever, but would recommend.

Also, "Forever Black" is better/darker than Meguair's trim polish stuff, IMO.

Change at 4.5rpm to 5rpm and I have a perfect limiter bounce with a small flame/POP

Noice!! Will have to try that out :D It's good to get some other feedback from other ppl that have 'em installed.

So is this stuff a true plastic stain then?

Where abouts did you purchase 'forever black'?

I've used that black polish stuff and it leaves streaks if you don't layer it on perfectly. Looked great for a month but it eventually faded anyway. Spoke to some guys at super cheap and bullseye and they also said it will fade and isn't that great

 

Supercheap etc all sell it from memory

Thanks man; will keep an eye out next time i'm there.

My only issue is I'm a tall bastard......going to get some Brides copies or something......getting rid of my black Heated leather seats.

I'll report back in a month to see how it goes.

Yeh, know the feeling.. The paddles do tend to sit a bit low even at their highest setting. I'm slowly getting used to them!! Don't think I could ever part with my Heated leather seats though :woot:

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
