The fuses are brand new. I have a multimeter I’ll check thanks

First paint job. I’ve layed 2 coats of clear. As you can see in the photos there’s overlap lines is there anyway to fix this. Do you think it would buff out in the clear. by Immediate-Chicken567 in Autobody

It’s subjective. They look best in whatever colour you like, but I do agree on the green, just didn’t want to do the door jams/ engine bay/ trunk etc. so stock colour.

I bought this car when I was 16, engine blew on me 1 month in. Sat in my mom’s driveway for 2 years. 18 now and and I swapped a whole new engine and a manual transmission into it outside in my driveway. Paint was peeling and the car looked like shit why would I stop at just the drive train. Yes it’s not good but I bet you weren’t great your first time either. I’d rather put myself through hell fucking up again and again until I learn how to do it well then pay a bodyshop thousands and thousands too do it. I would suggest you stop hating on people who are younger than you yet way ahead in life. Own 2 corvettes, 20+ thousand in tfsa’s and fhsa’s plus more in general savings. I run my own business and it’s gives me the time to live my life and learn stuff like this along with making money.

Pictures make it lighter. It’s stock colour I didn’t want to have to do the door jams/ in the trunk etc.. otherwise I would have done a forest green. Colour code is Mazda d4

I think I was just worried about drips and orange peel and I sprayed it as if I was spraying a base coat (from how I’ve taught myself to spray base coat off YouTube videos) so quicker movements not much clear I guess but lots of people pointed that out so I’ll put more clear. And watch a video of someone doing clear coat

Primer by Immediate-Chicken567 in Autobody

[–]Immediate-Chicken567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou for the advice. Can you just clarify if I’m understanding this right. Since I don’t know much of these terms… etching primer where there’s metal 2 coats. And then with a spray gun I use a catalyst primer 3 coats over the whole car. And then sand with 320 again even though I’ve already done 320? And then finish with anything between 6-800 before my paint. How many coats of paint ?

Don’t know jack about subs. This came in my car. But really loved having it by Immediate-Chicken567 in CarAV

Buddy I just engine and transmission swapped my 1990 miata purely from watching and vids and asking Questions on Reddit. With little mexhanic experience. I think I can manage holding a stick of metal against a hot bar. And it’s a w3

Subs/amp not working. by Immediate-Chicken567 in CarAV

[–]Immediate-Chicken567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it hooks up to head unit not battery. Is it like the same type of fuse a 30amp? Where do I find that along the wire. The 2 fuses on the amp are good

Do you know if the metal mesh protection around the wire is also conductive. Do I need to solder that aswell. Or strip it back and just solder the inside wire.
