It's a bit of a strange question.

Recently I had my entire car resprayed and I was a little suprised upon receiving it back that there would be swirl marks through out the paint. The colour is black and it has actually been resprayed.

My question to everyone is is this common?

Cheers!

The finish should be perfect no swirls no bullshit. Depends how heavy the swirls are but they usually at panel shops give them a polish/buff after everything is done obviously they don’t know how to use a rotational buffer. Go back to them and tell them what they can do?? Since it was meant to be a new coat of paint without any defects (swirls etc) in most cases they will have to respray.

My 2 Cents. Rob

Black is a hoe of a colour but it just takes time and a lot of work. Sound to me like they did a rush cut and polish. I recently rubbed my whole car back with wet and dry 2000 then fully refinished it. Took a whole day but the results were awesome. Take it back mate.

I certainly will. Fortunately the guy that runs the place where I had all this work done is a good guy, so it is pretty hassle free. Already have spoke to him.

Cheers guys!

And yes Adzmax.... black is definately a hoe of colour, particularly in Melb when it is drizzling for weeks on end.

Couldn't tell you an exact amount as it was on insurance claim. My car was keyed and as a result almost every panel had to be resprayed.

So as a favour because I was having other work done for when the car was broken in to in melb, they sprayed my front bar, roof and back.

Add to that all glass bar the front was removed for the respray.

So ball park, the insurance company probably took a hit of maybe 4k (?).

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
