hi bud , on my last car i brushed the paint on and it came out quite good.
the paint i use is hamerite smooth paint as it leaves a smooth finish when dryed...


hope that helps..

new stereo

managed to get the new headunit in today. just waiting for a din pocket to arrive now to finish it of. and need to move my ipod lead so it comes up in to the arm rest.

Lookin good mate!!!

wots happening

A small up date, have now managed to get hold of the front inner wheel arch linners,took a while as JDM had to get them from nissan so took a litlle longer than expected.

Next up is front spliter now i wasnt to sure if i was going to repair it or get a new 1, but since i had a look at when trying to secure it beter i found it had already been repaired b4 ,not a big deal , but i ended up makeing a small crack a lot bigger so, have orderd a new nismo style 1, and should have that tomorrow.

managed to get all the stereo done aswell with din pocket and relocated ipod lead to under arm rest, although did find out whilst changeing headunits that my left side front speaker is fooked so there now on the list of things to do lol.

have managed to get hold of a oem gtr spolier today again from jdm,so will have to wait for that to arive.

So the plan is as follows ? This weekend get car down to my works, work shop. fit new spliter if it arrives?. fit inner arch linners. remove wheels and paint my brake calipers.

fit gtr spolier when it arrives, then its of to a friend to get the paint work redone, paint work is not tha good in places and not that thick in places,messuers any were from 98 microns to 5o microns ,so needs a few layers of paint on it plus it will freshen it all back up.

will post pics up at the weekend...

wot i did today

well i dint manage to do wot i wanted last weekend but manged it today.
whiped my wheels of (onley the fronts today) cleaned my calipers up ,gave them a little paint ,i used black hammerwrite smooth.

arfter.

all done and wheel back on

also managed to fit the new spolier ( new to me any way)

old 1 off.

new 1 ready to go on.

and all done.

and a few pics of the new headunit all in.

ipod lead is run under center console to the arm rest.

and the mic for when useing phone on the move, works quite well witch is surprising.

and a few of my old solier ,also wot sort of price are thay worth as it will be sold when i can get rid of it. good condition and brake light does work. would just like an idea thats all.

last pic is of the car all done .
