Cheers! Ha, everywhere I pull up, I pop the bonnet just to have a cigarette a look at it! It's a a good excuse to check my oil and water all the time!

All finished! Thought I would put up before and after pics.

Carbon fibre ones will be my last option! Did see some aftermarket non carbon fibre ones on justjap.com for $165. Might end up going for them if I cannot track one down. Cheers anyway brother!

Thanks a heap brother, just emailed them will see how I go. Legend! Jason

Will be a challenge painting the KR4 thats for sure, but willing to give it ago! Have painted my old VS dunnydore years ago and it was a silver metallic, I paint matched it pretty well from memory and could not tell the difference. So will see how I go, might even put up some before and after shots, so you guys see how I go. Thanks for your advice also mate!

Yeah I paint stripped them back to bare alloy, thoroughly cleaned them inside and out. The paint is called Chrysler 'PHZ' Pearl Candy Apple Red. I do not have the paint code though. Quote this name and they should be able to make this up for you. Cost me $50 per 500ml and I didn't even use 250ml. I wanted to acheive the R34 GTR cover colour, but could not find a paint code for this anywhere, so just went off my sight and this was the outcome. Think I guessed quite well. Also the paint brand was HiChem.

Wrong section, I see! Excuse me as I am new to SAU. Thanks mate, took me ages in this cold weather, but very happy with the result. A few minor specs of dust particles, nothing major though!

I just want one, only one! Worst case will buy a pair off ya. Really want a genuine one as my passenger side is genuine. Anybody got anything out there? Jason 0409 652 542

Hi Mate, Autually I can be bothered rubbing it back, after all took me 12 months to find it. Will definately take your advice on board mate, just got to work out how I can make an almost dust free environment in my garage. Might make up a plastic sheet room in my garage and seal it off! Thanks a heap mate!

Hi SAU peeps, Just thought I would share my freshly painted 33 GTR valve covers! It was a freezing day here in Melbourne, so had a few heat lamps going off in the shed keeping me warm and the paint. 3 coats of base (colour) 5 coats of clear I stuffed up on the timing belt cover (minor run), I will blame the cold weather, not the fact that I tripped on the compressor hose and got a little to close . Will lightly rub the timing belt cover back next weekend and splash another few coats of colour and clear. Jason

BUMP Anybody?

Hi SAU Gents, After nearly 12 months of hunting down a Genuine Series 3 R33 GTR front bar, I finally found one! My 97' GTR is KR4 colour (dark silver), the bumper I have obtained is white, paint is in pretty good nik, but I want to strip the paint and start a new. Now I know not to use paint stripper as this can distort the shape of the plastic, and I really couldn't be bothered rubbing it right back. However, my question is this; Could I get this professionally sand blasted without damaging the pastic underneath. Also would you guys suggest applying the paint in this procedure in an above 25 deg low humidity enviroment; 1./ A good etch primer 2./ Lightly rub back with 500 grit 3./ Apply high fill primer 4./ Lightly rub back with 280 grit finishing with 1200 grit 5./ Leave primer to fully dry out 24 - 48 hours 6./ Apply base coat (colour) 7./ Dry out 4 hours 8./ Apply top coat clear Of course with all paint applications I will add a plastic additive given the fact this is plastic and will flex from time to time. Also, whats good quality paint, Standox? I am pretty sure the paint is 2pak not acrylic? Correct me if i am wrong... I have painted a few cars in my time, but never really done plastic bumpers. Eperienced advice will be greatly appreciated! Regards, Jason
