Are those stickers from canada? I think i've seen them, looks funny to me. I ended up ordering a set from an EP3 site in UK, I'll cancel it if someone can show me where to buy in Australia. I sprayed the centre cap today without sanding, there were wrinkles developed LOL guess ill sand them all off tonight. Got 1 more wheel to go

I don't know how you managed to sprayed one wheel with one can LOL. I didn't spray the inside and one can barely lasted it. I had to do 5 coats for an even and white coverage. I guess the EP3 rims have gaps that are hard to reach, that's why I had to waste a lot paint. So yeah made the right choice LOL. See how it turns out. And I always run into a problem where I spray a heavy coat of clear and the base coat seems to fade off at the area with heavy clear. Any explanation? I can't help it but feel if I don't spray the clear heavy enough, I won't have a glossy finish

The stickers i linked aren't the ones i got, i could't find the same item for sale anymore, you can get the stickers printed at the market if you don't want to order online, in VIC at caribbean gardens you could get a set printed for around 20$ cause they charge 5$ for a small sticker, and it takes 10-20minutes.

Maybe you didnt spray thick enough but from what i remember 4 cans were enough. When i did the rims blue i found these rustoleum 2X cans at bunnings, they have amazing coverage, i did one wheel in 2 coats.

I dont really know what would cause the base to fade, maybe wait longer before the clear. Do a few passes with a heat gun if its cold temperature, below 14 degrees.

On the stock rims i didnt use clear and they dired rough, when i did 2 heavy clear coats on the blue rims i got a nice smooth finish

Nah man, I waited overnight for the base coat to dry, just clear coated this morning. But yeah, no idea. Oh well, too late now. The paint job is ok, only those fading base made it look dodgy

I have those rustoleum cans as well. Used it for my grill. You bought all your paint from bunnings? They arent for automotive, I heard. But they're pretty much the same price as automotive paint so idk. I heated my cans very well before spraying. Dipped in boiling water, blow dry and shake for 10 mins, etc.. The paint came out nice and even. But it's too nice, there was always a mist of flying paint every time I spray. Seems unhealthy LOL.

Haha, I agree with the smooth finish. I just spray the pressure hose at it and all the dirt flew off where as the stock rim with mat finish didn't get cleaned enough.

yeah i did my wifes wheels with automotive paint but the results are the same as the bunnings paint, they are both enamel based. I dont know how it would hold up long term, if the paint will chip and flake off, lol, so far so good.

Some after work fun...

Hey guys, just wondering would a throttle controller from a jazz fit my fd? Are throttle controllers different for different engines?

I got pictures of the harnesses soon. Can any one give some pictures of their harness to compare? LOL I would look at my car but it's too hard to see
