Save the Skyline... Repainting progress
This Skyline is about 1,5 years old. Bought directly after release. Was the one of the first times painting it. Gave it a clear coat... Never should have done that. Paint looks like the skin of an orange now!!! The car looks great, just the paint... So I striped the hole car today and I'll repaint it next week. Fixing my beautifull Skyline. Hope it turns out nicely. Maybe some other color would be nice... Suggestions???

Re: Save the Skyline... Repainting progress
Nice idea mike. Unfortunately it has been done before... I'll think it over. Thanks for the support, I'll show the results soon.

Re: Save the Skyline... Repainting progress
Well got some results...
 Screwed up the paintjob...  Everything went well until I came to my first layer of wet coat. I know how to paint, that's not the problem. I'll get myself some Castrol Super Clean to strip all the paint. Should have done that before I started Here it is: Looks pretty bad huh... Isn't there anything positive about this??? Yes there is!!! Made a great looking muffler out of aluminium for it. Crushed a turnsignal in the front when I was removing it so puttyd it away, removed the rear wing for a bigger CF one and putty down the old holes and it all looks very tight sooo... Within two weeks from now I promise  Oh and btw color looks awesome with the white rims don't you think???
