Looking real good stuman

Mate if you want to find a colour that stands out go and check out the motorbike colour books at any automotive paint shop. I work for a mob called bodyshop paint supplies over here in melbourne, we sell debeer paints and they have one of the best ranges of motorbike colours iv'e come across,lots of bright awsome colours. Theres one in SA not sure how close it is to you but they'll be happy to show you the colour books/samples. If there to far look through the phone book you'll find a paint shop near you and they'd be able to show you through their books Body Shop Paint Supplies 588-590 Port Rd Allenby Gardens SA 08 8340 0610

thanks mate, i better take the trip down there today while everythings open again. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey mate. well done with the project man - looks set to be a mint VLCT. If you ever decide to come over the border. Drop me a PM - i would love to see all the little bits and peices that i know would have been done to get this to work D.

I reckon you should paint it the same colour as the new Honda Oydessy's. Its the purpley grey colour. Actually no, don't, I want that colour :P. What turbo are you using now? A mate used a r33 turbo on his rb20. The motor lasted 15 mins after he got it back from the auto electrician. He didn't realise he had to put vaccuum on his wastegate lol. Oh well lol. He said it went very good while it lasted. Is it true that a VL is lighter than a R32 skyline? What diff gears are you using?

your probably painting in acrylic but if your not I can get 2pac paint at a really good price, only thing is it is only the colours from the VE colour range. Let me know. Also good to see someone finally doing the conversion right. You have to atleast have 4.11s with the RB20 and 25's otherwise they will be slow and crap to drive. Nice project, coming along nicely.

i have a phantom purple, it's a ford color looks great in the sun has like a speckel in it, just a thought for you

looks like a good project... can't wait to see pics once its painted!

going great man, love the project pics

thanks all, i still cant decide on a colour. and dont really want to do 2pac because ill have to oven her to get it right and dont have access to one I was thinking of the new green on the new commodores but i doubt it would be acrylic? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
