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 (?).

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      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 .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
