oi ladies

would it be easier/better to paint an interior before or after a weld in cage goes in?

joshwa, has ur brother sprayed interiors yet? nudge nudge :domokun:

No. he wouldnt do my skyline coz I chipped too much paint off of the shell when i took the deadening out, and he was having a cry about how much work there was now.

If you remove the crap with more care then I, EG: all it needs is small amount of primer filler, primer and paint I can't see a problem.

We have moving house on the 28th of this month, so I duno when he can do anything aye.

IF i had it ready to roll in 2 weeks u reckon he'd be able to do it?

If it was me I would remove the interior, sound deadening etc first, then paint, then weld the cage in.
I would do what Keeg's said and then re-paint over the welds....well that what i will be doing...but some of the proofing will be going back in

Yeah i sorta thought that too, just wasnt too sure

cheers lads :domokun:

If you were doing it, i would do it like i did it in the race car...strip it all out, sound deadening and all, sand it back where its getting welded in like you normally do. Once the cage is all welded in and finished then go ahead and paint the whole interior. Believe me, its a pain in the arse painting everything and then having to sand it back where your welding and then touching it up. If its getting welded by mig, your going to get sparks everywhere and its going to ruin the paintjob just about everywhere inside. If its getting tig welded in then it should be ok, then its just the radiating heat from the weld area that will cook and bubble the paint outside of the sanded area as it travels through the parent metal.

But each to their own!

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
