My new AE86

[HYPNTK]

Ok I got this thing a few weeks ago and it has a bit of rust on the sunroof and inside the doors and that but on Monday its going for a mad spray job (hopefully will be mad) and I will add the pictures of it I took today and after 2 weeks when its finished I will put up the pictures of the new spray job, let me know what you think.

Also while we're here could I get a few opinions on keeping the white and black theme going or should I go with Silver and black coz I think silver will make it look a little newer while still looking full initial d styles? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/dry.gif

nice watanabes those are real on the front arent they?

[green_boy_91]

nice rims http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tup.gif ,
well i personly like the white and black i think it would look better then silver and black thoa,
well choose what ever u want but i think u should go black and white but thats just me http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/2thumbs.gif

[madnzer]

all silver. white and black has been DONE. :|

and put all 4 watanabe's on.. (or superlites/minilites/ultralites/rewinds whatever)... they're grouse http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif



cant wait to see this finished http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Silver panda sounds neat, go for it! Hope you're getting the rust fixed properly before the spray. Yeh those wheels on the front look great, got the full set?

[HYPNTK]

hey thanks for the feedback guys...will post up pics as soon as the spray job is done...will let it be a surprise whether its gonna be silver or white (coz i dunno myself yet gotta make up my mind hehe)...i don't actually have the full set of the watanabes but i will be searching for a full set of 15 or 16 inch ones with heaps of dish after the spray job

p.s. oh and yes the rust is getting very well repaired...thats the whole idea behind the spray job! have the whole car sprayed is just a bonus of the rust being repaired as well...thought i'de do it all at once

p.s.s. dunno if the watanabes are genuine...they seem to be but couldn't be sure

[ae86hachiroku]

usually you can tell if they have the watanabe logo on it..
its like this kinda

W
WW

its around where the knuts are.

[HYPNTK]

YES THEY'RE REAL!!! they have the logo with the W's on the side...how much would they be worth seeing as they're only 13 inch?

[ae86hachiroku]

depends what offset it is, but..
if it's a full set id say something close to around the $1000 mark..
hope it helps.

[redsprinter]

you should spray it like i gunmetal silver and black, panda style. looks awesome

yeah i dropped it off today and the original quote i had for $1500 to do flat white with the bumpers black sort of wasn't enough for a gunmetal panda spray job...i'm pretty tight-assed atm but i'm going to see him tomorrow again anyway...fingers crossed he won't be too expensive

ok i went to see if this guy had started working on my car yet coz i had noticed a-gazzillion other cars in his workshop and in the driveway when i dropped off mine.

as i walked up the driveway with my head down whatching out not to touch any cars or parts and that, i looked up and saw this

[Julz01]

since your respraying the entire car you should consider flaring the guards just to stop any problems that could arise later in the future.

[Bustin_86]

its not that hard, im doing my own car. Takes a bit of patience is all.

[Joel-AE86]

Come to Adelaide...I do guard flaring on AE86's http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[HYPNTK]

oh yeah great idea but how do i do it when the car is at the panel shop stripped as in the pics above?
maybe i should ask the guys there if they can do it but i doubt they can...is there anyone in melbourne who does mobile guard rolling?

[DRFTAE86]

Alex at
Garage-13.com

Dunno if its mobile though... might have to go to him.

[MARKE70]

Holy crap is that LevinNafey's car in that pic

same wheels same colour lol

[Julz01]

considering it is already at a panel shop i think the people there would be able to do it if you want it

[LordNafe]

LOL MARKE70 taht was what I thought too http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif I thought "Hey how cool would it be if that was my car before it came to Australia" http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

ok here it is...just picked it up and came home and took pictures with my phone (sorry about the quality, lost my camera)...

umm all the other panda sprinters and truenos i've seen and got pictures of have the black stripe all the way around the car continuously...either way it looks sweet..

and yes it felt awsome rolling up to the panel beaters and seeing it parked in the driveway and then driving home on the way and thinking that everyone is looking at your shiny new car hehehhe

oh yeah...well the problem there was that the stripes on the doors are actually rubber strips and for me to take them off and fill the holes and paint a seperate stripe would have cost extra (probably not much) but i just let them do it like this and see if i like it but i will probably end up doing it properly like the above pic later on

[HYPNTK]

i feel quite stupid actually...i never noticed that the plastic strips are painted white and the black continues on top of it about an inch...and to think how much i love panda paint job...how ignorant

thats nice and cheap, did you do the prepping yourself? was it in two pac? if you didnt prep it yourself did they take it back to metal or did they just rough the paintup a bit and prime then paint over or what?

yeah man it is very cheap, i was recommended to this painter by a mate...he has his workshop behind his house and works with his son and they are right behind a HUGE panel beaters company hahhahaha...so whatever quote they give you and if you cringe they say just go next door and ask how much they want and if they would even take the job hehe.

i didn't do any prepping myself man...they did everything...there was quite a bit of rust here and there...inside the door jams and door sills and around some of the windows, around the hatch and the sunroof was fucken rooted with rust...yes its in 2pac paint (i told him to use the brightest white he could get....)

they didn't take it all the way to metal (that would cost heaps more) they just rubbed it back, repaired rust and dints and deep scratches and then painted.

still extremely cheap for all that work

yeah man fair enough, thanks for your time!

yeah well when i picked it up it looked sweet as but now that i see how they are on the real panda sprinters/truenos i will get it done again after i register it

[li21]

Its still a very nice paintjob.
Im looking to do the same, got quoted about $2k in sydney. Trying to get it down a little .. still shopping around.

How did you tell the painter what to do? Im worried just providing pics might not be enough.

well i went there and told him about it and he was having trouble understanding exactly what to do but then when he looked at the pictures i had with me he picked up on it straight away...i talked with him about it while walking around the car showing little things like where it should be black and how and that and then printed pictures for him of every angle of panda sprinters so he could refer to every time he got a bit confused...its the only thing you can do man...aside from standing over his head for 2 weeks while he does it
