I've used some. I'll take some pics later and show you my result. I'm pretty happy with it, had to sand out kerb scratches first though. I've got some stone chips as well but I didn't want to go do it since it would look blotchy with a touch up brush or pressure can. Since your's is black, I don't think you'd need to prime it first but it would be recommended. I didn't prime mine so theres slight tone difference, but will be respraying it again to give it another coat.

If it's on metal panels, I personally wouldn't touch it since it won't be an even finish. I touched up my front bar. Head down to Autobarn and you can pick up either a little touch up paint with brush or a pressure can.

Sorry to butt in but I thought I'll join as oppose to start a new thread.

Has anyone used these guys before to do touch-up paint jobs? - http://www.propaintauto.com.au

Looks like good results but not too sure if it'll be cost or even time effective.

Unless it's a special black, e.g. with pearls or matte. The closest black from your closest auto shop will sort of do the job if you're not looking for perfection. Otherwise, special paint shops will fix you a color to match your car's color code. Can be put in a spray can, tin, nail polish bottle, etc. Of course it will be more expensive.

If you're using a spray can, you can also shake well and spray some into the lid and use a small brush to touch up spots.

As for application, just make sure you have cleaned the area well and when you touch it up don't do a rushed job and try not to coat over or "fix" too much as the ingredients will end up hurting area surrounding more than you actually fixing it. (It will take off your clear coat).

Also make sure that you have a clean micro fibre cloth with some polish handy as soon as the paint is dry protect it. Usually touch up handy men will have some sort of cream polish, so it's not too harsh. Along with a small drill polisher, which if you have, great!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
