You can carry it back to Queensland in your tight skater pants.

Car looks good man

If i may, put my 2cents in. Any chance of spacing out your wheels a little? I think it would really just set the whole car off.

Thanks kustom

Hmmm.....space the wheels out.....I agree it would look good but not high on the list of things to do at the moment.....unless it's your shout for spacer rings

Love the new plates!

Got my replacement number plates yesterday, with slim front plate

Washed the FTO again today and took it out for a local photoshoot in Port Pirie.

Yeah but Phil has replaced pretty much everything in the car anyway

And whatever goes bang he will just fix. He's like a non-turbo version of Bennoz who drinks bourbon instead of tinnies

I think I might have to steal your camera when you come for our cruise.

Phil's GPX is the bright red angel of death, drowning out the screams of his victims with the roar of MIVEC.

at both of you

I wanted to try a different background for the photoshoot. I thought the red would stand out well amoungst the dreary colours of the graveyard, and I believe I was correct!
I have other ideas/sites I want to try out in the future too.

Knowing that you painted the car yourself, and seeing that shine, is inspiring! I decided I'm going to to have a go at it myself in a month or so aswell.
Did it take a few good polishes before getting that nice gloss? And do you remember what brand of clear coat you used? And how much of it?

sorry for all the questions

Post by **bjk** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 7:32 pm

Nice finish.

You should help me tint my tail lights sometime.

Thanks

I think it was Dulux or could have been PPG, I can't quite remember.
I used 3 coats of clear, any more and it can start going yellow.
I use a synthetic polish, Turtle wax "Ice".
It didn't take too much polishing to get the shine, the paint was pretty much already shiny from the start, but I have to keep using the polish (4 times a year) to keep the shine.

Thanks to you to

My tail lights are tinted with a removable film, bought off of eBay, Vectose helped me wrap them.

EDIT: Of course it's raining hard now after all that effort I put into my polishing
