dooooooo eeeeettttt Artzie

I always warm the work piece beforehand and then heat a little bit between layers as well. Helps make the wrinkle really nice and uniform.

Yeah I was leaving it out in the sun, spraying and then lightly heating after each coat then going over it with the heat gun for ages after the final coat. Just to bad I didn't know this when I first tried the paint lol

Any suggestions on where to start. I want to tidy up and Bling out the engine bay on my GTR.

Like taking my car to shows as well as the track.

Want something that looks great when the bonnet is up....

Ideas??

Ideas??

- Wire tuck engine bay

- All plastic fluid reservoirs replaced with metal

- Braided everything

- Remake intercooler / intake pipes

- Less rubber bits

none of the above...lol

looks pretty neat already, just needs a good clean and general tidy up, maybe a few hoses and wires re-routed...

might get one of those oil catch/window washer combos

and a full length front cooling panel that covers your headlights and all....

but the rest i would just tidy up...clean the smog marks off the paint , clean the hoses, polish the covers etc...general cleaning basically.

no need to waste money on tacky braided hoses, leave that to the muscle car crowd..save the money for performance mods....

He said bling. I listed bling hahaha

eg> not a 26 but this is bling
