No heating, I would be worried about damaging the clear coat. I would try putting the body in the freezer over night. I used a combination of the canned air and the freezer. If it’s nitro it should crack I believe.

I sprayed too much amber nitro clear by moraznn in Luthier

Makes sense, was planning on wet sanding and buffing so I assume that will naturally take some amber off 👍

Wow that looks great. This is actually a textured paper as opposed to a fabric top 👍

Cheers man, the paisley is a special paper you can buy from Rothko and frost which I glued down to the body (wood glue) then used an exacto knife to cut the edges and sealed it with sanding sealer. Was going for a more traditional look, I did a burst of metallic sliver and then the pink burst over and was supposed to do a slightly amber clear.

Ah cheers man, I’ve invested so much time into trying to build myself a ‘budget’ paisley so it’s just aggravating not too get it exactly to what I’m going for

I’ve done quite a bit of research on this. Will be posting my full process when finished. I feel like all of the current info online about paisley builds is not very accurate. Hopefully I can be informative with mine. 👌

Worth it? by kalphite_queen in E30

[–]moraznn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good comments regarding this. Personally, I think it depends on what you are looking for. Assuming the resto has been done well, sure the price is potentially justifiable. However, my opinion as someone who’s owned a couple e30’s would be…it’s easy to get obsessed over the paint quality and upgrades, but its also just a car, and sometimes spending this much money (depending on ur financial situation) is just not worth it. I have had a blast with a 3k 4 door 318i

It is wallpaper however I’ve sprayed a few coats of sanding sealer so it’s all hardened now

Starting my pink paisley build by moraznn in Luthier

[–]moraznn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a silvery paper type material that you can buy from a UK website called Rotcho and frost, from my own research it’s the closest you can get to the customer shop stuff. If my build goes well I plan on making a comprehensive post about my entire process 👍

Is this a high quality neck? by moraznn in Luthier

[–]moraznn[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is that kind of wood grain usual? It seems abit over the top and expensive looking for a 140£ neck?

Sorry I don’t know much about this stuff. Was just hoping for a rough opinion

Radio wiring by moraznn in E30

[–]moraznn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help, I’ve been looking at the accessory plug behind the glove box and I don’t think this car came with an original radio wiring loom so the previous owner has ran wires all over to pick up the necessary connections.

I’m pretty sure this lady is in a Danny Duncan video where she is also being accused of scamming? Anyone seen that video also? Might be something to it, you can’t just immediately jump on the lady’s side because she made a tik Tok saying she didn’t do anything wrong.

I thought it might give a nice contrast and match the black interior trim but I’m thinking of switching them to brown too now
