I read that a Silvia binned it yeah.

Going to get my brakes painted by a pro, thinking something other than factory red. He suggested yellow which I liked at first

but I think I'm liking green more tonight. Possibly going to need to plastidip rims black but not sure on that yet.

Just read that the Silvia had a tyre blow out and ended up in the curb, possibly a car that spun out after mashing brake pedal going past a camera.

Any plans to get the car painted by a pro as well Steve?

True...spewing...maybe it was a pos s13 lol

Also PM me Steve when you find a place who does a good job and price too if they let you share that info...being NOR I'd be interested in where your getting it done I assume powdercoating?

I was gunna attempt doing mine with cans, in a similar colour to nitro (found a can of duplicolour engine enamel with the lid pretty close to nitro, so hoping it's pretty close).

I was gunna do primer, 4 coats of paint and maybe 2 or 3 of caliper clear coat (with heaps of drying time in between)...so hopefully I don't fukc it up lol

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

PTR I read in another thread, Luke commented that clear coats seem to be what cause trouble later with peeling

I'm getting it done by Mike (long time member here) who has taken up automotive painting as a trade. No idea on details but it will be paint not powdercoating I'd say.

Steve, if you paint your calipers green I will legit bitch slap you at the next cruise! No hello's or pleasantries, just straight up "I'll snap ya"

The cruise was insane, there were so many people there, that there were bound to be people getting lost especially with red lights breaking everyone into groups. Unfortunately I was one of the lucky ones that did not get a map.

Guess who was at the front when the lights turned RED?

I was at the front and this was before the first meet point. However I got wind of the location of the first meet point and hacked my own root to said location. I was not the only one as I was gunning it with about 15 cars behind me, I managed to catch up to two other lost souls. The silver r32 that almost lost it and the black supra that drifted around the round abouts..... hehehe

The thought of double demrit points didnt allow me to have to much fun. Now I regret it as I found out that quite a few people were misbehaving, isnt that so Mr Primer.......

There was a single black GT there as well, Dowen should have been there to keep him company.

There were two R35s there. I saw a single Audi s5.

What really caught my eye was an rx3 that was done up and turbo'ed.

The other impressive cars I saw was a 1 series beamer out running a few WRXs.

Then the last but not least, a done up nissan patrol keeping up with said pack.
