Pics From Recent Paint Job! <56k Users Beware>


Recommended Posts

exact same situation with my gf's car when someone hit her. the job was absolute shite and it was obvious. we got in a number of arguments with the panel beater and took it back there at least 10 times threatening if htey didnt fix it we would go to the insurance company. they pleaded with us not to but in the end we did. it was RAC and it was very good. they agreed fully with everything we said. the assessor took the car and said i will call when we are satisfied that it is done properly. they took the car back and told them to fix everything, ended up redoing everything again, including a new bumper, front bar and two front quarters and a new tyre. RAC told us we should have gone straight to them when it wasnt right in the first place.

This is werid,

But it is a dodgey paint job because, they must of used 2pack paint like arcryclic(spell?) paint i'ved noticed this when i had my Pulsar SSS it had Japanese paint but when i went to touch it up etc i would get the result that you have until i got speical paint from oversea's. Japanese cars used better paint job not the 2pack shit we use here.

the paint we have here is fine as long as the probr stuff is used.

Problem is crash shops use cheap shit so that the profits are up.

I occasionaly buy paint and for base coat 2pak group 4 pay approx 180 per liter the stuff they use is prob about 80 bucks home brand crap

    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
    • Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???
