Hello,

My rear spoiler is unpainted but primed. It's ready to be mounted but I want to get it painted first.

I already know my cars colour code, GV1 Black.

I just want to ask where I could get it painted properly near Sydney 2155

Are there car painting companies? Do smash repairs do this?

What about those ones that say they do colour code touch up painting?

And also, if anyone had any previous paint work done similar to my situation

maybe somewhere near The Hills area, Seven Hills or Blacktown.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, GV1 is Black Pearl according to the Paint Codes in SAU forum.

I've never had any car painting done before so I was unsure of where to have it done.

I just wanted to know the type of places that offer painting services.

I didn't want to go, for example, to a car mechanic and ask for painting.

Going to get quotes from nearby panel shops soon. thumbsup.gif

Still looking for other peoples stories on their car spoiler/bumper painting with the company you did it with, what part, if they did a good or bad job, etc.

I'm curious, How do they match the colour code anyway? GV1 - Black Pearl seems to only be a skyline colour. wacko.gif

I resprayed the spoiler of a vr-x lancer today, matched the metallic from the code under the bonnet. Really good job. As I said, any panel beaters have the ability to respray stuff, and would only charge a couple of hundred to do the job..

yeah any panel beater/smash repair shop can do it really. Your car has a blue plate in the engine bay with the paint codes that the body shop will then use to match the paint, simple as that

Howd it turn out mate?

Went to a few panel beaters for quotes..

One said $400

Another said $500

Went to carmate $200 so I was like GO GO GO

Turns out the piece of crap spoiler I ordered sucked. It wasn't made properly. The legs were screwed onto the spoiler a bit too narrow.

So I need to also pay for fitting. Carmates price for Painting and Fitting was $350

When they started painting, I looked up carmate reviews online saying that carmate sucks. So I got worried.

But it turned out good. They matched the colour and handled the fitting very well but at the cost of $350. Well anyways.. Thx Carmate thumbsup.gif

If I wasn't in such a rush, I would of tried X Racing Motorsport and Team JetSpeed to get more quotes. Some good reviews for them.

afaik, from what i've read on carmate reviews the issue is with the products they source rather than their painting & fitting. But really anything with fibreglass body parts, chances are you're gonna need some custom fitting to make it sit right.

personally I had an old GTR style spoiler on my old GTT supposedly bought from carmate (I bought it off a guy on the forums) & it was fine, had it painted by a local shop & fitted it myself with no issues

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
