Help! Can somebody help me with some paint work?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

As some of you may recall, my car was violated a little while ago. Stereo stolen, dash busted up etc....

Well, anyway, I decided to get my dash resprayed to remove all the blemishes, but I wanted somebody who knew what they were doing to spray it.

I employeed my sister's friend, as he ran some backyard job, and was going to do it for me for free. But since handing him the dash over a month ago, I have not heard from him since. Phone calls and sms's all ignored.....

I have however seen my dash, by looking through his garage window, and can see that no work has taken place, despite his bs, in saying it's done etc etc....

So I'm thinkin of confronting him, and simply getting my sh|t back. That however, still leaves me with a sanded dash, which is no good to me. I have the paint, (2pak stuff, thinners and hardeners), just don't have the equipment to apply it.

If I do manage to get my stuff back, can somebody help me paint it??? It's been an absolute nightmare for me of late, and need somebody I can rely on, to put all this behind me.

Can anybody please help?

Thanks to all how reply.

Cheers!

Farkin mate. that is hella long time looking at a naked skyline interior. I tot u had it back aaages ago. Yeah, INASNT is right - free aint really free. Its 'Free - but wait a frickin long time for it'

I'll get that e-mail to u shortly dude too.

Oh yeah, also, what are u doing about mags nowadays? back to the stockies?

you can paint the dash using the 2pac and thinners.. you can buy small spray cans which you mix the thinners and 2pac and use that to spray. Its like a pov compressor setup but it comes up nicely.. King Ricer.. er sorry dj_l3thal used this method for his dash.

Hahah,

Yeah, my baby is all naked right now..... wires stewn everywhere...... there's no air vent, just one gaping hole in the middle of the dash.....

No stereo bracket, so my factory tape deck is just sitting there. My discman, lying on top, so that at least i have some tunes. *sigh*

Yeah, in hindsight should have paid somebody to do it. The guy claims it should be ready by tomorrow. Oh course it won't be, but I'll see him then.....

But if it's not ready, then ylwgtr2, I'll be sure to give you a call/pm. Thank you for your help btw.

But as for Nath's job, yeah looked good, if I don't get anywhere then the pov compressor will have to do. But yeah, thanks again guys.

DAZ drop me a pm or call me mate, I can get it sorted for you easily. I would have thought it would have been done by now!! for farksake!!! I am doing my dash and impul rims soon, just need a gun!!!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
