Heh yeah, they need a coat of satin black now.
|
Thanks guys :-) yeah noticed it when i put them on so they have come off until i get a chance to spray them.. didnt realise how faded they were
Was more a reference to what they look like on the car.. cause i know there were a couple of people keen for a set **** small update have painted wiper arms today at work cause it was SOOOOO busy ;-) and didnt want to miss out on this heat to paint them :-) ***** |
Had a fun arvo playing around with the Lamin-X tint. Have done the foglights and the blinkers. Still have headlights and rear lights to go. Also decided to finally do the most important mod.. astinagt.com sticker :-D

What's best for painting wiper arms? I've got a bit of satin black rattle can left over from my headlights, not sure specifically if it's sufficiently waterproof or not.

Okay open to debate i have primed up my rear badges.. now what colour? i was thinking black but EVERYONE does black so was thinking maybe the same red as the SP20 Sticker or maybe abit darker? thoughts?? |
Candy red. Slightly deeper than the sp20 badge
|
i reckon black, your blacking out the tail lights right? i think red might just stand out to much.
|
Every time I see this thread I read it as Jimmy Suite and I get all excited then I reread :(
Like the wheels though the polished lip and old school spoke design are really nice. |
I reckon gold, just to be different ;)
|
I've changed my mind. Gun metal grey! Or gold, gold is cool.
|
Thanks for the colour ideas peeps.
Marc - like your suggestion of gold cause know one else has done it.. but i hate the colour gold. so im going to go buy a can of matte black and also a can of candy apple red.. thinking the rear badges candy apple red and the front one black |
matt, dont buy it from supercheap, my can broke the same day i bought it, went back and they were diiiickks to mee

I'll take a walk in bunnings on my lunch break see what i can find :-) |
Buy the quality stiff for $15 a can. That export stuff is useless
|
not sure if it was or not, i threw the can away, can was blue, touch up paint, was 13bucks
|
Supercheap has gone to ****, they used to have some good stuff but seem to have got rid of it all in favour of home brand **** like 'calibre'
|
I second that :(
|
I agree, they are trying to live up to their name too much.
The quality of their stuff has gone down. That is what you get from cheap Chinese crap I suppose. I was looking at a jack there the other day and the welding on I was terrible. |
They still have decent stuff but the trouble is people always want cheap, cheap sells. If you're going to use it once people don't buy snap-on etc. But its a pita only selling supercheap quality stuff. Saying that I bought a black and Decker heat gun the other day, and it was almost twice the price and similar quality to their Rockwell series. Which is junk.
|
im pretty sure ive walked out of supercheap as they never have anything i want :(
|
I got a $50 supercheap voucher for my birthday. Dont even know what i want to spend it on, they have nothing i want. Wish i had it a week before when i bought all my detailing stuff :(
|
The only thing I've got there of late is some contact adhesive to re fit my side mouldings. Sticks like baby poo to a blanket.
|
should rename my thread 'supercheap rant' hehehehe :-P
but yes i agree with some of the statements said.. Some of there stuff is hit and miss. ... Okay car stuff .. have decided to paint the mazda M on the back candy apple red and the mazda and 323 astina badges matt black.. cause having them all red will look stupid |

didnt notice you till like the last second when you flashed, was staring at the stupid skateboarder in the middle of the road
|
Pics when you've done it, because im thinking i want to do mine red too..
|
Smurfy - i didnt even recognise your car till i flashed you :-) was like i think that Jess but not sure
Ben - you ask for pics you will receive. This after the 2 coats of red. Doing the mazda M first then doing the others http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4028_large.jpg |
Should get ride of sp20 sticker and astina badge and grab a sport20 decal ;)
|
Looks good! Where did you find the paint??
P.s don't you love the dirt on black cars, mine looks the same :p |
Marc - have been thinking about doing that and getting the red sport20 decals for the side aswell but got the badges off a forum member for cheap so see what happens :-)
Ben - ended up getting the paint from *cough* supercheap *cough* cant remember the brand off the top of my head the can is sitting at work. Will find out and post on here. Yes black cars SUCK for dirt but look oh so sexy when clean Well i tried lamin-x my rear lights the other weekend and failed massively :-( so instead with my last pre-made sheet for the rear lights i managed to cut out 2 pieces out just for the rear blinkers. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4029_large.jpg http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_...4030_large.jpg |
how'd you fail ? it that hardd to doo...
|
Smurfy - just couldnt get the film anywhere near where it had to go on the rear lights.. they did have on there website installation for rears was 4/5 for difficulty :-(
|
*** updated pics on first page ***
|
I like the tails with just the reverse done, not overdone, makes me think I should get some for mine :D
|
:(
