Al Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Would prefer not to mention price publically, as i was looked after (mate's friend) and still under quoted, as it must of been their first R33 they painted . If anyone is interested in a quote just call Marcus on 0421169969.

Roy Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 http://www.colorrite.com/index.php?osCsid=...37f59947ede5ea3 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cool..thanks. Now just have to do a lot of searching for cars with those actual colours as its too hard to tell just by looking at the colour on the screen.

Al Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Didn't realize that the thread had been re-opened, as i didn't get my usual e-mail notifications. Well thanks for all the +ve feedback, it is really appreciated. All up, i am extremely happy with the cosmetic results and also my mechanical upgrades too . I fully understand and appreciate that we all have different tastes. What looks awesome to me may not suit someone else and vis-versa, but at the end of the day only the owner needs to be satisfied with his/her work . I have decided to continue work on my "SKYLINE" backlight project. Should be ready and installed by this weekend. Here are a few progress pics, with a progress report . After the spare "SKYLINE" facia was colour matched, i first used my Dremal tool to cut out the rear of the facia. In hin-sight it may have been better to complete the unit first, before painting, but time was an issue. Then i used a sharp blade, off a Stanly knife, to gently cut off the paint from each letter. (Not as hard/long as i thought it would be ). Using a Jaycar "bread board" and my electronic experience, i positioned two hi-intensity LEDs in between each letter. This was done to try and minimize the focus of the LEDs. YES, it is damn bright ; i may disconnect one wire and only use one LED between each letter. It is now ready to be secured into position, then i will coat it with sicaflex to ensure it is as water resistant as the original. Only one question left... Do i hook it up to my parkers, so when i turn the h/lights on it will remain on, or do i hook it to my brake lights, so it turns off and on with my brake?

Al Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Where is a good place to look for colours and codes? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used various paint sample books, Troy (ylwgtr2) was a GREAT help. Also kept a look out, on the road, at all red/burgundy cars that i passed. And asked friends for advise, thanks Pete .

Kaz200 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 that looks awesome al You have to bring the car over dammit! I saw a 32 the other week with red lettering but I dont think it was LEDs or anything, perhaps just painted.
