Hows the Paint coming along mate.
Just love this car cant wait too see it at S.E.D.F !

[Neroo]

damn man car looks killer .. hows the handling like with the air ride ? always figured it would be too soft and not very good around the bends as opposed to standard strut/spring or coilover ? show a nother pic with the headlight covers might actualy work with the car

Thanks dude. Yeh the handling is not bad. Firmer and less body roll when I ride low of course so I like it.
Il get the eyelids painted too and Il slap em on and take a pic soon to see what you reken.
Seen your car again at the Pav the other day haha. Where abouts in Dandy do you live?

[Neroo]

hrmm thats preety suprising always figured air ride would be preety bad lol guess i was wrong , im in central dandy right next to christholm tafe/ oasis where abouts you located ?

[fatmir305]

Yeah guess it doesn't compare to top of the range coilovers but I don't mind it.
Ohh yeh. South Dandy, near Ritchies IGA.

So got the car back from the paint shop.
Not happy at all with the result.

Paint came out with the "orange peel" look.
Also the bonnet and boot have crappy buff marks.
Really shattering. It has to go back after everyone gets back from the holidays.
Big headache

Il post a before and after photo later.

Bummer!!

[fuzion]

Wet sand them out? .. Machine polish.

bit of work, maybe a day but not that severe really!

Buff marks are from panel beaters who can't machine polish. You will find them throughout the whole car to where they have machined unfortunately! I wouldn't have them detail the car if i were you.. it'll just get worse!

[Jarred]

along the lines of what pierre has said, maybe get Final Inspection to detail the car, and send the bill to the panel shop, rather than them doing more paint, or more damage to the paint.

Final Inspection are regarded as the best in Melbourne, if I'm not mistaken.

[fatmir305]

Thanks guys!

I might drop by Final Inspection and see what they think.
Yeah a mate who's a panel beater/painter said it takes about 8 hours worth of work to possibly make it normal.

Here is what I mean by the difference:
The original is in better quality than the new camera phone one but you can tell.

Bloody key marks... and thats the good side haha

and the new paint

Personally i wouldn't say the best. Have you seen his products? Rebranded ..... and his pads? terrible lol. (have a box here that he sent that will never be used!)

There are quite a few good ones in Melbourne. He is good, but i wouldn't say the best. Probably the most "self hyped" detailer lol.

For the money you will spend on the madina wheels they are a bit exxy dude for t9 forged from china! Same colours or going different centres?

[Jarred]

Well I've never used him, but he sure does get alot of word of mouth advertising. (and hey, I could be mistaken )

hahaha thats fair enough. Who would you recommend in Melbourne?
I have a mate who has worked with wheels for a while so I wont be paying top dollar.
Yeh same centres. Not a fan of black version.
