G'day All,

Need your opinion. As I'm sure you've read in the past, my car was broken into, dash broken.

Anyway, rather than replacing it, I've had it repaired and repainted.

The thing is, I originally wanted to paint it a dark metallic gun metal grey in colour. Subtle being the key here.

But, the guy I did it ran out of paint, and instead painted it another colour..... check it out for yourself. Now don't get me wrong, the workmanship is excellent, but its very showy..

Should I fix it?

The dash looks good, but I don't like the other bits, too bright, however in person seeing the car is white it would give a better perspective! Do I hear uv lights?? :D

Hey!!?! I didn't multilate my Skyline...its actually a damn good professional job.... just that it probably is just a little extroverted for me! hehe

Hmm, thanks for your opinions though, I'm still in two minds over it. Hopefully, when the guy gets some more paint, he can paint it a gun metal colour again, but as rrage said I'll enjoy until then

Thanks

    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
    • Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.
    • Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.
