Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this industry etc?

Im thinking that i might like to try it out and get into it.

Does anyone know what is involved in this career?

anyone actually doing it ?

and does anyone know what the going rate is for an apprentice ?

I think id love to have hot cars with crap or good paint jobs come in, and u strip em down etc, then respray them and they drive out... without a single scratch on them and they just glimmer in the sunlight.

can anyone help by offering advice, or knowledge?

thanks guys!

Everyone i know that is involved with cars says its one of the last areas they would want to get into. I have always been fascinated by it though aswell. All you can do is try it i guess

It would definately be a prick of a job stripping the cars, rubbing them back, painting them well and then piecing together all of the seals,interior etc etc., but if you get a contract with a dealership you can make a killing.

spray painting is a jod for those perfectionists out there who love their cars you have to put in alot of hard work to do it just right but the rewards are worth it (not my words best mates dad spray painter from way back)

    • 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.
