What sort of headunit are you installing ?

Top Job mate, You should be very proud of yourself. I did say i was going to paint the Senator one day... well that day came... was suppose to be a quick touch up... turned into a full respray... lol. Learnt alot with metallics (first metallic car that i have sprayed)... lol. Anyway here...

Damn... Was reading through this thread looking for the finished product.... but no update.... sigh :(

Hi all, Been looking through the forums and cant find any answers. I think my catalytic converters are slowly dying (they are making a rattling noise). I need to know if anyone knows or has changed the catalytic converters for high flow units and if so how hard was it. From the looks of...

I did have some.. might have to take some more.. Cheers for the comments

Hi all, Ok the respray was finally finished, looks pretty damn good i must say... very happy with the results :) Just need to learn to take better pics (Photos dont do it justice).

Ok car completed with all the badges on now... :)

Thanx sleepa, yeah i found on your last coat you have to do a dust coat and literally spray the metallic paint over top of the panel so it falls on the panel not spray it on directly this makes all the metallic particles stand up and really shows when you lay down the clear... and you need to do...

Ok car has been completed, except for the badges... Pretty happy with the result considering this is my first metallic car i have ever painted and the second car overall. Thanx to everyone in this thread for their advice :)

Thanx for the replies guys :) I stripped back down to the bare rubber and used a flex aid then primed over that... then tomorrow will apply the colour and clear.... Once its all done i will post some pics of the finished product.. (Fingers crossed all goes well).

hi all, Does anyone know how to repair some cracks in a rubber boot spoiler? I have 4 cracks that go across the spoiler (so front to back) and they are very noticeable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Just a quick update, I finally managed to get the repair to work as expected. I have wet rubbed the whole car down with 1200, 1500 and 2000 grade paper. This is a pic of the DS guard after it has been polished (ignore the bonnet I am doing that separately). Let me know what you guys think ...

Thankyou very much everybody for the advice. I have redone the repair and have primed it today. Will be topcoating tomorrow, if I can get past this point I will have the car finished. Thanx again for all the advice. Cheers

check the plugs on the cluster itself and make sure they fit securely. Cheers,

Thanx for the advice hi_ryder, however that is not an option. I will persevere, thanx again. I will post up the completed job once its finished. Cheers,

Hi all, I am very new to painting, so here goes. I have an issue at the moment where I am getting a crazing cracking effect around the outside edge of my repairs. I have attached some pics to help illustrate the issue I am having. This is the method that i follow at the moment for any...

Awesome looking ride mate, very clean.

What sort of headunit are you running? Cheers

In order for us to help you with your enquiry we are going to need to know the following: (as well as acarmody's questions) (1) What sort of music ie: R&B, Top 40, Heavy Metal etc.... (2) What power output in rms for the amp you are going to use to drive the sub? (Or just give us the model...

Sweet, now that looks awesome..... you have done extremely well on this one mate. Its good to see how far you have come from when you first picked it up... Cheers

Ok what sort of H/U do you have? That might clear up some confusion. Cheers

Hi there, If they are the same screen on both sides and the same plug has been cut off then i would join the bare wires from both screens together. Does your H/U have an auxillary in? If it doesnt then you wont be able to hook the sound to the H/U as you need an input into the H/U not an...

Looking good mate, the good thing about it now is you can drive, enjoy and have the satisfaction of knowing you done everything yourself! Cheers

Looks sweet man :spot on:

Mate, they look freaking awesome!! Cheers

That looks so much better :spot on:

Awesome mate job well done !! if I can get mine to come out like that I will be wrapped, although mine is white so wont have quite the same effect. Although the senator will be a different story as its factory colour is cardinal red. Cheers :beer chug:

Thanx for the info Reaper and someguy360, I like the sound of yours someguy360. I just had a quick look at your thread on the SS Reaper, looks like you have done a lot of work on it. I just had a look on tuffcarparts website and came across a 2.5 inch cat back system, not a bad price...

Hi all, I had someone ask me the other day if my car was a V8. I laughed but then thought it really isnt loud enough. So I am after some ideas for a new exhaust system. I would like it to be loud, but not drone. I do currently have a Redback 2 inch system from the CAT back. This system...

All good about the pics i will eagerly await them..... lol i read somewhere if you start with 1200 wet and dry on a rubber block, then once it feels smooth then continue with 1500 and finally finish with 2000 and then polish. Takes a while but the result will be worth it. i have done panels...

Pics .... Pics..... lol

its sounding awesome mate... shame about the phone... cant wait for the pics.... Cheers

Awesome job mate, Will definitely look forward to the pics when she is all cut and buffed. Top effort. Cheers

Thanx for the compliments BrokWoods, she definitely needs a respray though the ol paint is getting tired and needs to be freshened up. Cheers

Nice looking VN mate, very clean.... :) Keep up the good work, awesome job on the spats. Cheers

Sounds good mate, cant wait to see some pics. How lumpy is it with a Crane 276? Cheers

Sweet looks good.... clean as. Cant wait to see it with the original wheels... :)

Looks sweet as..... awesome job on the cans.... :)

That looks friggin awesome mate!!

Looking good mate, she should come up well with a buff. I have been told that you should leave the top coat as long as possible even perhaps for several months before trying to buff it.... apparently the longer you leave it the harder the top coat will be and the better results you will get when...
