September 9, 201016 yr comment_467013 Is that an AW11 MR2 :D It's a gnome with wheels. I really like the last LT, I see you have one of those blue triangles, what are they? I see them everywhere down here! Report
September 9, 201016 yr comment_467018 Blue triangle denotes battery location on a competition car. As people move the battery around the car (to usually the boot) for one reason or another, motorsport officials need to know it's location to disconnect it incase something untoward happens. Not 100% manditory if your battery is in the factory position, but is if you've moved it. Report

September 9, 201016 yr comment_467047 yeah i did a cheap spray job a few yrs back. prolly spent 300 in total (borrowed a compressor, bought a gun) i used metalic (so had to buy some clear coat as well), which is rumoured to be "harder" to paint, but the bloke at the paint shop said it was the same....and we didnt find it "hard" to paint. though i have no painted non-metalic, so who knows...maybe it is harder. i think the finish on mine is a bit "flecky" so we prolly did something wrong. but its all metalic blue now...and shiny...and has lasted a few yrs now in the sun.

September 9, 201016 yr comment_467071 2 pac needs heat to harden. dno who told u it didnt. i am a REAL spray painter. well an apprentice but alot more experience than a backyarder thats for sure. if i was doing a back yard job id use acrylic but its durability is nothing compared to 2pac. but then you SHOULDN'T use 2 pack over acrylic so for old cars its baremetal respray if you want it to last.

September 9, 201016 yr Author comment_467077 Yep, I'm Scoobies Dad. Acrylics a "simple" easy to spray & polish paint - Never used 2 pack & don't want to ! Prep work is the major PITA but as with most things you only get out what you put in For the pro's reading this, I'm having a larf re "shrinkage - You know what I mean don't you ;) For those attempting a "back yard" job, 2 things : Humidity & a DAMN GOOD water trap ! :D Report
