im looking into doing a system this winter... i will have all the components i need but i would like to do a fibreglass enclosure and im not to experienced in it, i have worked with it before but not in a stereo setup

i would love it if you guys wanted to help me out with that... the car will be stored over the winter so it would be whenever convienient

also, i need a good polish and buff job on the car to make the paint shiny as it was recently painted and it has orange peel all over... anyone experienced in this that would be interested in teaching me or working on it for cash?



just some thoughts for the upcoming year

Get it wet sanded at a bodyshop and you should be good to go. I would recommend pm'ing Jay (Team Rukus) and seeing if he can help you out.

As far as audio installs, I can do whatever with fiberglass and stuff. If you need any advice on audio products or install designs I can help with that aswell.

lordm

this is a good one its a link to this tool which u enter the year make and model of your car and it will tell u what wire does what and the colour of the wire and if it is a + or - system.
have a look it might help.

Can I wet sand my car using super fine grit sand paper? Do I need to apply another clear coat? I see thousands and thousands of swirl marks...

Double_B

Where were you guys when I was asking for help to install my side view mirrors in the member's lounge?? (Except for you Chris)

Whiplash

yessiree Charles..
not sure what grit but it's up in the 1500 range..
and only use a wet-sand..

it's one of those things you have to be "really careful" doing cuz ya don't wanna go thru the clear if you don't have to....this'll save having to re-do a clear application too.....

if yer clear is shot tho they'd rough it up with 1000 or so before re-doing it..



have been and am still busy _B
we're talking mostly winter projects and stuff that might take an hour or two interim..i haven't done mirrirs before so i didn't offer up my assistance

Double_B

No problem. I am in the process of selling them anyways. Going to look at some different type of mirrors, but I will keep you guys posted in case I need some help. hehehehe

lordm

i will be most likely installing my turbo in the next few months so when that time role around and u guys want to come and help out feel free. i will be posting up the day i get with an install date. its will be a good learning experiance.

scarlemthug

you can but its a huge risk as you could sand through the clear into the paint and then your facked. If you are doing it yourself try to find a paint depth gauge and use like 1500-2000grit wetsand paper and ALOT of water.

Having a car wetsanded or recleared is really inexpesive so I would recommend just having a bodyshop do it for you.

Nova_Dust

I mean to do the wet sanding myself. Like have the sand paper sanding while running a little stream of water from the hose.

Will it work like that?

scarlemthug

yeah Thats a basic understanding of how to do it. It is really a risky thing to do, your car has nice paint and just needs a proper wet sand or reclear to look like new.

Maybe get a highspeed buffer and some good compounds, that may help you out alot.

I need to fibreglass my system in the trunk. I'm a mechanic so I have a little knowledge on how to install stuff and figure out problems. I don't mind doing electrical stuff. I spend hours cleaning and buffing my car by hand. so if anyone needs anything don't be afraid to ask. I can get parts fairly cheap too mostly non aftermarket things and tires.

Whiplash

when i start my hood i'll let ya know, you can practice on it (you shmuck the CF tho yer in trouble )

Nova_Dust

But how do we know how much clear coat we have taken off? And would a thin layer of clear coat be bad for the original paint underneath?

shlammed

hopefully my EK will be joining you guys next spring
