Hi Guys,

Thinking of repainting my Black V35. Thinking of sticking on to the black but would like some suggestions of better colour options(with photos if you have). Also what are the questions that i should be asking like what type of paint should i use and other info. Could someone give me rough price for the job.

Thanks a lot guys.

hey guys, few questions....cheap and best place to buy the paint in Brisbane...or do you think i shud order online....secondly is clear coat optional and do i need to buy some premium thinner for the paint...

buy the paint online? you are not going to try and paint it your self right? and clear coat, of course !!!!

$2500 or more for a respray from someone cheap..

$2500?! Would have thought that $4k would be a more appropriate number - for a decent job with proper clear applied that is.

Agreed, I had the turret (hood), and boot lid resprayed in another car a few years back now, and that was $900 - wasn't triple layer pearl paint either.. You can probably add 50% more if you want a pearl coat.

$2K would probably only get u a taxi paint job. i.e.: door jams, engine bay etc untouched. A proper paint full respray would cost you $5K++++++

so true i.e Sheldon's ._.

i would recommend just go BLACK so just in case unseen accidents color matching will be a breeze

i got a mate that goes car wrap pm me i can give more info on facebook

f**k off, my paint job is awesome - 3 layer pearl for 2k (Usually he does it for 4k - 5k). Not painting inside the doors / engine pay isn't the biggest deal, my cars white, inside my doors are an off white - in no way is my paint job a "Taxi paint job"

Even if I had 5k to spend i'd still rather spend 2k to get what i've done. I would change nothing about my car.

Black is one of the worst colours to go with, although it does look amazing on most cars. Attracts heat and if you live in 25-30 degree heat every day you don't will suffer.

Scratches come up horribly and is very difficult to maintain, but if you take care of it and don't mind the extra heat then it can turn out being a very good investment.

You haven't changed colour mate. Pearl white on white is a pretty breezy job - compared to changing the colour all together.

Ever seen those cabs that are orange outside and inside is all blue still.. lol!

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
