Hey guys just a quick probably stupid question , i want to repsray my car the same colour it is can i just sand back the shine on it and respray or so i need to go back to steel and primer and the whole shabang

Sand back the clear coat well enough and just prime up the areas you have bogged (if any at all) and she should be sweet...

Thanks heaps mate also theres little surface rust comin up do i need to cut that out and patch it or grind it back and bog it also will all scratches dissapear and im going to buy a vz body kit to suit vr fibreglass do i just need to sand back primer and spray it comes coated in gel white or sumfin

[304runner]

Keep your car looking stock or if anything put a VR kit on it.. The gap between VR-VY is too large and in my opinion would look down right stupid...

Either way just cut out the rust if really bad and weld in a new section or in your case if its not too bad just grind it back and bog it up, prime it and hit it with some paint.

But I must stress, body work to a car isnt something everyone can pull off. Yeah it looks easy but there is a good reason why the blokes who do it for a living are sometimes well paid.

There wouldn't be a Trade for panel beating/spray painting if it were easy...

Hey yeah thanks for the advice i want it looking stokc as possible i didnt really wanna put the kit on it do they make vr kits in its original material i dnt really like the idea of fibreglass also ill be getting a mate to do the paint and rust he does rust repairs and paintjobs at home on the side but i wana try do most the ground work so i dont need to pay him much the car is stock vr silver lots of scratches on it so i want it lookin smick also i heard with 2 pac u dont need clear coates but could i still put some on

if its metallic, you need clear. if you want a good job, pay someone to do it properly.

Thanks for the advice also will my rear qauter panels be the same as from a vs also the front and rear bumper and side skirts just had a quik run over the car i only baught it yesterday and i realised that the bumpers arent flush with the car it looks a bit shitty so im gna go look around at wreckers get some newer ones that arent cracke to the shithouse and i need a straight qauterpanel for the right rear end just wondering will these fit

[MDVXSS]

yess they will, outside panels in vr/vs's are 100% identicle. sept minor things on calais and statos

[M4TTYH]

Thanks heaps mate good to know is there any reason my bumpers arent flush with the body could it be coz there cracked. Also with the black strips that run right around the car if i remove them whats the best thing to get the gunk and sticky shit off of it thanks in advanced lots of help from you guys cheers

[MDVXSS]

just cut as much of the black crap off with a blade. then sand the rest down with some 80 paper. its the quickest way, but you will have to prime that area cause you will hit metal, but that doesnt matter.
