no don't use a clear coat.. i found a video on youtube about the paint and the guys says that it has a shine by itself.. i have recently used the red on mine, i'll get a pic soon for you.. i think a couple of other guys on here have used it too..

one guy used red as the base and then used gold over the top and left Nissan writing red, looked really good.

Cheers

Actually, the idea to put a clear coat on it was more to protect the paint and make it easier to wash it. I did the left side of my car and it look pretty good and shinny.

But the problem is that I use foam to apply the paint( because I found, after applying one coat, that the brush didn't work really well) so I can't put grease on my nissan logo. So Is it possible to sand it back to metal ?? I'm asking because I just read on page 5 ( I think or 4) that it take way too much time to sand it back to metal... :P

i just finished doing mine today. sprayed on the car. did fronts on satday and rears today. duplicolour blue. looks hot!! with the fronts i sanded each coat off after 20 mins or so. stuffed one of my rears cause i put too much blue on :D but not noticable from far away.

so id suggest sanding off in between coats

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
