hey guys I'm in the process of making a garnish for my rear bar to spice it up a little.

It will only be a small piece that wraps around the cutouts for the exhaust tips & the bottom half of my bumper made in fibreglass

my question is for anybody who has painted fibreglass themselves, do I need to sand back the gel coating before I apply the primer?

I'm planning on just buying primer & matte black spraycans from my local supercheap

any suggestions/tips & opinions welcome

I'll post pics of the finished product

:cheers:

Done!

came out great, time will tell if the paint holds up but I used the same process as my front grill & it's held up well so far in the 2.5 years I've had the car

I'll post up better pics before & after, phone pics so far just gotta wait til I can borrow the missus' camera

trial fit (just sitting on top of the exhaust to check fitment)

the finish came out looking like black plastic so I like the 'oem' feel of it

always appreciate comments cheers :thumbsup:

andy did you say you saw a sedan version of my car ( = :wub: ) or a V36 sedan with a similar rear bar lip ( = :wub: :wub: :wub: )

If Infiniti ends up coming to aus I'm trading in for the sedan I'm tempted to trade in now for an imported sedan, but if it will be aus delivered it will be worth the wait to have proper satnav/menu systems in english etc.

+ more family friendly & I wouldn't have to downgrade for a maxima/accord, wouldn't even consider falcodores

these kinds of designs you can't appreciate fully in pictures, I hated the sedan until I saw one up close lol

always appreciate comments cheers :thumbsup:

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
