It's a bit of a strange question.

Recently I had my entire car resprayed and I was a little suprised upon receiving it back that there would be swirl marks through out the paint. The colour is black and it has actually been resprayed.

My question to everyone is is this common?

Cheers!

The finish should be perfect no swirls no bullshit. Depends how heavy the swirls are but they usually at panel shops give them a polish/buff after everything is done obviously they don’t know how to use a rotational buffer. Go back to them and tell them what they can do?? Since it was meant to be a new coat of paint without any defects (swirls etc) in most cases they will have to respray.

My 2 Cents. Rob

Black is a hoe of a colour but it just takes time and a lot of work. Sound to me like they did a rush cut and polish. I recently rubbed my whole car back with wet and dry 2000 then fully refinished it. Took a whole day but the results were awesome. Take it back mate.

I certainly will. Fortunately the guy that runs the place where I had all this work done is a good guy, so it is pretty hassle free. Already have spoke to him.

Cheers guys!

And yes Adzmax.... black is definately a hoe of colour, particularly in Melb when it is drizzling for weeks on end.

Couldn't tell you an exact amount as it was on insurance claim. My car was keyed and as a result almost every panel had to be resprayed.

So as a favour because I was having other work done for when the car was broken in to in melb, they sprayed my front bar, roof and back.

Add to that all glass bar the front was removed for the respray.

So ball park, the insurance company probably took a hit of maybe 4k (?).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
