What paint did you use on the rocker over?
Dunx

 

[rd55 dun]

Used VHT Wrinkle Red spray paint.

I bought 2 cans but only used half a can for this, if your interested in the other?

Dead easy to use.

That tilt is nice n tidy . It's not too much but just enough.

How much did your box cost to get done ? And what did you get gone ? ..

 

[rd55 dun]

Thanks mate.

My dad owns a gearbox shop so only cost of parts...one of the perks.

Car now 99% finished.

Was in to get front bumper, and new lip painted. Need to raise front slightly to
Prevent any scrapes and sort sticking callipers.

Got my 9 back on the road on Saturday and its been great. Sorted the callipers with re-conditioned Honda ones on each corner so no worries with anything seizing now. Car is booked in to get RTA bushes sorted then a full geo set up ready for my trackday in May, and photoshoot with Paul.

This week I have decided that the car needs a right good detail so spent Sunday giving it a good wash and de-contamination followed by a full machine polish. Done the roof, spoiler and rear quarter on Monday night so thought id throw up a few pictures to show the difference just using a light polish and finishing pad on the 9’s paintwork, high gloss sealant and wax is still to be applied. The paintwork was in need of some good TLC.

First Quarter of the roof done:

Half of roof done:

Three Quarters roof done:

Roof Finished and awaiting gloss sealant:

Rear Quarter Before and After – didn’t come out to well on the camera

Spoiler 50/50 shot and finished:

Hoping to have the full car sorted for the weekend.

Maybe considering some new coilovers and a different intake.
