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

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
