Some Help Finding A Few Things

[Anarkei]

hey guys,

does anyone on here know of a place in melbourne (pref. near malvern) that sells automotive paint and the like? i'm painting a set of rocker covers but i'm having trouble tracking down a place that carries what i need to get the job done.

thanks!

well, what do you need? repco should have everything

basically i'm after a specific paint (Nissan's Millenium Jade) and whatever i need to undercoat the metal so the paint sticks and doesn't get screwed over by the heat of the engine bay....

you shouldnt be doing it yourself

oookay...relax, it's cheaper for me to do it myself...i know the essentials of pulling the engine apart for what i need to do, i also know how to work an airbrush with a little skill, the only thing i'm not sure of is how well the paint is going to hold on an alloy metal and in very high temperature.

hence i'm asking the question of WHERE to find paints and primers etc...let me worry about screwing my rocker covers if i get it wrong.

do them in a two pack enamel....try someone like a holden dealer...you would need to paint strip them,etch prime them, then paint the colour(base coat)that you want then clear them....dont bother asking for a colour name tho...you will need a code

if someone can find the rocker cover painting thread for you, 1 of the guys just did his with an awesome result in a really glossy reddy color. looks awesome, so he could almost certainly tell you whats needed and where to get it, how to apply it etc...

think it might have been GTRGeoff or something like that. ill see if i can find the thread
