(I asked him to paint them whatever dark colour cause they were gold previously.. awful. I picked them up and he told me he used leftover paint he had from doing some lambo wheels haha)

M5 wheels:

Great pricing too. Will be using him again whenever I need wheels painting for sure.

edit: Pics really don't do his work justice.

Thanks for that, ill give him a call. Does he powder coat or paint? (or either)

sounds like powder coating is the way to go.

dont laugh.... mine were painted with cans! lots of prep work and elbow grease, many coats including clear, looked brand new. then i ended up selling them for $300 (idiot)

new owner had them powder coated in a deep grey, apart from the colour change i couldnt pick a visual difference in finish... but i know the coating is now stronger

Cans i think would be ok for a short term solution. Finish wise it could be good. The problem will come when you go to get new tyres. When they stretch the tyre around the wheel it will most likely strip the paint of the edge. 2 pak is baked on so its much harder then acrylic (spray can).

Will definately be going with either 2 pak or powder coating.. Although i know nothing about powder coating.. Are stock wheels powder coated or painted??

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
