Hi guys, i am pusher's friend. I have a 95 240sx and a 85 300zx. I am looking to do an exterior color change on my 240sx and i have quite a few questions. You guys seem pretty knowledgable on the subject so i thought id ask here. The car is currently a factory blue/green 'chamelionesque' color, which i believe is called emerald pearl. One of my fenders is factory black. The car still has full factory clear coat. Before i paint, i will be replacing the front bumper cover, adding sideskirts, and rear bumper valences. These pieces will come professionally primered so i dont have to worry about prepping thoes pieces. All the rest of the body will need to be prepped. I plan …

Hi all, My Christmas gift that my wife gave me finally came in from MSA; a BRE front spoiler. So I'm wondering what is the best way to prep, paint, and fit it. I've never dealt with fiberglass body parts so this is completely new to me. I'm assuming that I'll want to trail fit it first and drill the necesary hole first before prep and paint but, that's about as much as I know. I do have the "240Z tune-up" video from Ztherapy and I believe in the later half he discusses fiberglass body panels but I've yet to get that far in the video. Any suggestions? Best Regards, Landmizzle '…

as you guys may have known I was in an accident and my rear quarter panel is well... pretty F*****. So I was looking for my options.. I can *Hammer and Hammer it out and fill in the rest with body filler *Cut out the old quarter panel and weld in a new one. ($700 for a new panel plus the cutting and welding) *Buy a fiberglass panel and bond it on! ($125 for a new panel) However I had a question about getting a fiberglass rear panel. Here is what the website mentioned... ----------------------------------------------------- Looks original - This panel is designed to be bonded over the existing steel panel. This method offers an easier and inexpensive way to…

Does anyone know what to use for smoothing the surface of a soft plastic(It seems similar to high density polyethylene)? I'm trying to repair a bumper that mated with a rock(not the Z). I was able to smooth out the main wrinkles by heating with a blow dryer and bending it back, but there is some damage left that will have to be filled with something and sanded smooth. I realize that almost nothing sticks to plastic, especialy if it's polyethylene, but maybe there is a trick or two out there besides purchasing a new bumper. Thanks, Victor.

Was planning on painting my car today and was told that the humidity would fog up a paint job, but will it have any bad effect on primer? thanks.

My recently purchased '71 240z sports a pop-up sunroof that I know will drive some of you guys crazy. However, I've never had a sunroof before and kind of like the novelty of it....until it rains. Unfortunately, it leaks like crazy. Anybody know where I can find new weather striping for it? My web searches are coming up empty. I believe the sunroof was made by Levan. Anyway, save me from using duct tape!! Thanks for any help anyone can offer. - Alan -
