[fuzion]

option b, bring it to sydney

steve and i will do it for you, i cant guarantee the colours but you will be happy never the less.

[WABIT]

If your not in a rush i rekon the best results will come from doing it yourself. Panel beating isnt rocket surgery and you cant trust anyone to do a good job.
But tis yo money playa

i cant do it because i crushed my hand, id love to prep the car but i physically cant

How mint are you talking Dom, zero orange peel will cost you mate.

To get it absolutely flawless, it will need to go bare metal, once the colour is on and then the clear coat, to get zero peel it will have to be wetsanded back, then coated again, then possibly the same proccess again, then wetsanded, then cut and polish.

Its alot of man hours. I had to compromise with mine and live with a bit of peel, its only detectable in some lights, and being black i reckon it the worse colour for showing it!!

Yours being white will be alot less noticable.

I wish there was an equivalant to Greg Howell or Steve Denton in Australia, i hate trusting people with things like this !!

[WABIT]

yeah fair enough but this was just a cut back, smooth, gun white and clear, buff, and thats it!

the car is straight azz to begin with.... theres not even any rust

dom

[OEM G60]

He's having a laugh then eh!!

Whatever you do, don't rush into it mate, i wish i had the time again, i should of searched more, its just so hit and miss!

If i were you, i'd give Final Inspection a call and ask to speak to Damian, and ask him if he can recommend someyone, or ask on the detail forum.

[fuzion]

those final inspection boys do some crazy ass work! which remidns me i need to get mine done sometime.. argh!

dom.. i have a few words you should consider. worthersee, klagenfurt tuning show....

then think if u wanna do it now, or later

You dont have to go bare matal for no orange peal. Once the paint is on you sand it back with 1800 then 2000 then appy clear and do the same.

Black paint is the worst, it doesnt show up so much on white. You can also reduce orange peal if the spray painter knows what hes doing.

[WABIT]

lol spyda thats what he said, i think he means by having a mint job you need to get it back to bare metal, orangepeel is just another statement

dom

[OEM G60]

True - you don't have to go bare metal for no peel. If the clear coat is thick enough it can also be wetsanded back to lose peel.

But you'll always notice in some lights the pulling of the other paint underneath the new coat, depends how fussy you are.

[Spyda]

dom

lol sorry, i thought he ment bare metal is a must for no orange peal.

But you'll always notice in some lights the pulling of the other paint underneath the new coat, depends how fussy you are.

How can you see it under the primer?

[OEM G60]

The paint underneath the new paint expands and contracts at a different rate to the new paint, something along those lines anyway.... It moves the new paint, causes slight ripples and imperfections.

Like i said, this is only in some lights, and you have to look very closely to pick it. Someone who paints cars for a living would no if it a bare metal respray or not.

[thestu]

lol i dont get both these comments lol stu..... WTF ARE U TRYING TO SAY!!! AHAHAHAHA

and dub20v ..... lol

dom

DON't put the roof rack on tonight...but bring your boobies... i would like to see them!
