so i decided to do repairs my self after and L plater reversed into me , now all the structural repairs went well , although 4 days ago i just finished respraying my bonnet and front bar . after the cut back and buff it was looking awesome and i was pretty suprised with the quality for a home job . now today i went off to the beach and my car was parked in the sun for possibly 2 hrs , as i came back i noticed instead of the smooth finished bonnet i had , there was a texture to it ?..... i was pretty pissed off thinkin where did i go wrong . i mean i know if you leave something freshly painted in the sun this can happen as iv come across when i have painted other things with acrylic in the past . now does any one know why this has happened?.. or whats the recomendation in order to fix this??... should i just sand the clear coat back and then give it a few more coats? i mean im sure i gave the bonnet ample time to dry etc...any help or info would be much appreciated. thanks guys

i had that problem a few years ago , ended up taking it back to the exhaust place, they yanked the hell out of it . i was watching he really had his work cut out for him lol.. took him like 20 mins to get it off , they ended up using a pipe like an L shape to get it off. try using hitting around it with a mallet to loosen it up , then pull with a hammer if need be .

na man no cutting , all depends what side projector u got , but mine were pretty big .

ahh you wouldnt ruin your headlights , there isnt any modifiying into the actual head light , you basically are just mounting them in . all you need to do is just remove the standard beam , which can always be put back in again . im working on the focus pics guys , finally had both done last night , now all i have to do is just get the correct adjustment which is taking a bit of time , but i will have some good pics up asap . thanks

im currently tweaking adjustment at the moment , but its getting there . as for hi beams , i have the 2 other projectors from the es300s which i could do .

2pak , Where Can I Purchase It From?
sky-017 replied to sky-017's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
im spraying black , although there is a very very minimal tinge of gold which is barely noticable. -
isnt it a bad idea to be using a sander on the car?... iv always heard people saying they sand it by hand to prevent indentation.

im after spraying a few panels at home . just wondering where in sydney i can buy it ?... thanks men.
-
thanks for the comments guys cheers .. as for putting a cover , to be honest you cant really see it with all the surroundings being black . i was going to spray the actual projector black , but when i put it in you couldnt even see . just took some pics at night for you guys to see ... i want to get the other headlight done aswell . although it is time consuming to remove those plastic covers , especially when your oven is too small lol and you have to use a blow drier.

after an L plater reversed into my car i decided to do the repairs my self and keep the insurance cash . in the process of sanding scratches out of my headlight, i decided to switch to projectors with hids . bought myself a pair of lexus es300 headlights , and took out the projectors . heated the headlight cover off and mounted the projector , installed the hid . suprisingly it came out a lot better then i though it would . i ended up putting 6000k hids in . im halfway there just have one more headlight to do . as hard as it is , there is no aftermarket headlights for r33 , unless of coarse you buy r33 gtr headlights with the projector . they look pretty neat although they are like 2k aparently . this job basically cost me $200 ... $50 for the es300 headlights and $150 for the hids .... tell me what you think , ill get some pics up later of night views... cheers
