    which company i'm looking at ditching NAC as $89 a month is getting pretty steep for me now.

    these guys http://www.lumley.co.nz/home

    pretty expensive for the first year for me since im 18 and only on my restricted, really low excess though. but we've got my family biz, mums house, uncles aston and other stuff insured through them. they said the only way they were going to insure me is if it was fully insured which is all good with me lol

    Just a hint give people about a weeks notice, gives them enough time to ponder

    sweet as . just needa good weekend to do it really. only place i can think of having it with enough space it up by my work though...

    I'm keen too, my van needs some love its got about 300,000kms of tar spots over the last 4 years

    haha good thing you got told about this when you delivered the prepsol a ;P

    Didnt it start out at 20L for $80 so thats $4/litre...not $10? :)

    yeah $80 for 20L...but it all depends on how many are actually keen. and with any money left over ill buy munchies and stuff so not like im trying to rip anyone off...not that i can for $20+ for 1L :P

    Enough room for one car undercover? Like a garage or something? We only had that much room the last time, washing can be done in the sun. If you polish and wax afterwards, you'll need some shade, but if you leave it for later in the evening, hopefully there'll be some shade on the side of a building??

    erm dunooo we dont have a garage here or anything..but MAYBE we could put it in the back of my work. have a roller door space for about one car. but itll be next to lots of powder. on the ground walls roof every where pretty much...

    i dont really plan on doing it in mid summer or anythhing. a nice srping day should be good enough? doesnt really get to hot or anything

    oh just so every one knows ill be using my own money to buy this..so if i could get some money off any one keen. say $10 for a litre?

    been told a litre should be plenty for one car but ive never done this before so i dont really know. 1L from total body shop is about $20+...4L is $80...so its cheap! and im staring at a 20L drum of it haha.

    Yep I'm keen to give my car another once over... we don't really have a big venue any more though, or anywhere with lots of shade :(

    /quote]

    Yeah thats true i wonder where we car have? I guess it depends on how many turn up etc? I can't think of any location off the top of my head

    You got any space at work graham to park up a dozen or so cars?

    haha jeez didnt expect this many replies so quick . yeah ive got a pretty big car park here and coffee etc. but dont have enough space undercover . so would have to be a fairly nice day for it...

    s***!!! in tauranga, its about 40/wheel at a place we go to for doing trailer parts etc.

    you guys must be getting tucked!

    remembering it all depends on the powder your using...white, black etc is pretty cheap but once you start getting into metallics it get way more expensive.

  7. hey all as title says i can get prepsol (ppg wax and grease pre-paint cleaner) cheaaaap. so whos keen for a wash and wax day? or just for some prepsol either way. Only avaliable to wellington members..unless your going to pick it up.

    Can get 20 litres for about $80 so your basicly going to be paying nothing compared to how much youll pay in store! 4 litres from total body shop is $80 so yeah its CHEAP

    1 litre should be more then enough for 1 car ive been told...so yeah..whos keen?! ;D

    ninja edit: prepsol will take all the cr@p and oil off your car making it nice and shiney and ready for a wax!

    just suck it up and do them again. its not overly expensive to powder coat wheels. the biggest part of it is taking the tires off.

    biggest part would be stripping and prepping them...

    how is that the first problem?

    [quote name='sti wrx said:

    Bought these rims 3 months ago, have only driven about 2000ks and the color is just peeling off.

    Please note these were originally white, the tire shop (b]Wanganui tires and alloys[/b]) provided them, but because they could only get two grey ones so they had two white ones powder coated on my behalf to complete the set, only the coated wheels have this issue with massive chunks of paint just peeling off, took them back today to be told its not there problem and that its happened because i haven't cleaned the wheels often enough and the brake dust has deteriorated the paint.... what do you think?

    Theres your first Problem......

    Find out who the powder coater is, and have a chat to them (send pics etc etc) and see if they will come to the party and offer to fix it...

    who ever did it..well they wont just offer to do it again. if they did a sh!t job the first time itll be sh!t the next. find out who done it and find out if they were stripped before hand then youll know exactly what the problem is. screw getting them re done by the same people though!

    btw do you know the name of the powder that was used??

    1st thing i noticed was it was a bit twitchy on the 40 series tires... got rid of mine ages ago

    2nd thing no real difference except road noise.... :D

    (not sure If i am stirring or being kind to the White WRX :P )

    3rd always tense driving others and it was relaxing/comfy to get back into mine

    ps: if some ppl dont mind I make a motion we tag some pix so we know who others are/were there I'm terrible with names - Only clicked Graham was chulomuzo's real name and it was second time i met him hahaha

    not for being snobs or anything - its was a bit hard with the wind and all to say ho/natter to everybody

  11. ok i didnt read the rest of it coz im running out of time. no it definatly shouldnt be peeling off! im a powder coater so i have a bit of experience. were he wheels all properly striped before they were coated? coz it sounds like it wasnt preped properly to me...
