I have done my dash inserts, looks sick......I did it in silver, then put 4 to 5 coats of clear on to it. word of advice is to remove all the silicon coating off the plastic, rermove with thinners only alight whipe with a rag, that breaks down the silicon then you can scratch it off if your finger. lighty sand plastic and use a wax and grease remover to stop fish eyeing then paint! I will post some pics of my dash sometime today!:P

i just did this recently

attachment.php?s=&postid=126582

attachment.php?s=&postid=126583

attachment.php?s=&postid=126589

This is how i did mine.

Sand with light grade paper.

Apply 2 coats of primer, sanding between coats

apply 3 coats of gloss paint

apply 3 colts of fast dry enamel.

of course let each layer of paint and enamel dry before applying new coat.

do it like this and u wont have any pealing off etc.

It will peal off if u just paint it with the gloss paint without priming or applying clear.

INASNT:

Im not sure if I like it or not (might be just the blue colour) but thats a top effort.

I've been abit happy in the last few days with the spray can and I have found the black plastic door handle cover on the drivers side (that holds the elec window buttons inplace) to be abit warn and tacky, im sure a nice coat of black would go down well :D

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

      Shockabsorber 101

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?

      Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
