So we had warnings of massive hail. To protect the Dayz I covered it from front to back with bubble wrap. Very clever. No

f@%*+ng way. When I took the wrap off today I found that there had been a chemical reaction between the wrap and the clear coat. It looks like a honey comb effect. The red duco is now randomly speckled white. It looks UTS.

Oh well looks like a complete respray is now a needed.

Anyone else had a bright idea that wasn't?

Maybe this could be a place to make your confessions.

I got some and the spray stuff. Cost $50 and did stuff all.

Going to try very fine wet and dry to see if that works, if not atotal respray.

talk to a detailer, tell them what happened and let them have a go. you could end up doing more damage to something that might be fixable.
i would definitly give a pro a couple of hundred before shelling out thousands.

our dealership had balloons out in 40+ deg head. the paint popped them on contact and they the melting rubber sat on the paint for a weekend. marked to shit. the paint men got them back to shiney new so they can do some amazing things.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
