am pretty angry with myself tonight..

was driving into the garage (its a very tight space...) and was pissed off that there was broken glass on the ground that i drove over.. wasn';t even thinking of hte tight space of the garage

long story short - i scraped about a 1m scratch into the LHS of the car :D

add to this that i have been keyed on the RHS of the car last year, and that a bird poo that festered on my bonnet for 2 weeks last year when i was on holiday, and my car really needs a new lick of paint - it doesn't need any panel work, simply a new coat of the stock colour and a coat of clear

and this is not a show car - its my daily driver and thus it doesn't nees to be show condition

from my searches, a paint job of just the exterior in the stock colour has given me a price range that i know i should be thinking of

but i really need someone on the inside that either

- works for a painter

- has a mate that's a painter

this needs to be in brisbane also

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

all i can offer in return is free medical advice on any issues they have :D

thanks in advance,

Warren

I know a few painters, one of whom used to work for DMD. Your best bet is to see him in person. Go to P&M Motor Body Repairs in Smith St Capalaba. Go round to the paint section and ask for Bilby. He may or may not be able to help you but it's worth a try. Tell him you were referred by Daniel.

He also knows shite loads of other painters so if he can't help...maybe he knows someone who can.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
