New Paint suggestions and shop
I just pickedup my car for Magnus yesterday and its SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!
Its a whole different level of car!!
But now I'm thinking I would like to redoo the paint, with something more special to match the magic that's under the hood.
I love the octane blue color but its just missing something, not enough pearl or metallic compound in it.
Can anyone suggest a high-end shop in the GTA that does exceptional custom paint work on cars?
Thanks in advance,
NEWB
PS- 2.3L Evox with FP_Black...................................

OOOoooo fast car. What colour do you have in mind? May I suggest you an option? I think you should consider vinyling the car. That way you can always reverse? There is this nice Orange IS-F that goes by Speedstar (I think you can find those pics on Speedstar's facebook page) that was vinyled and looks sweet.

Back when I was in the Porsche world, I had the front bumper and hood of my 928 S4 repainted by BestLine Auto Body in Concord. Excellent colour match, even to 20 year old paint!

With base tune: 430WHP/380Tq.................@ 20psi..............wastegate keeps flopping open at 5500rpm.
I havent got a screen shot of the chart yet, going back on Tuesday. But it pretty much looks like at 3500rpm there is a solid line of TQ and boost with HP rising up to 430.
New wastegate on order and retune when i come back from vacation.
1) dont waste money on FP wastegate upgrade, they charge like $100+ for a wastegate that only holds 18psi......... FAIL (FP SHOULD ADDRESS THIS)
2) order forge, blouch, jun, or hks wastegate if your going FP_BLACK/RED. PERIOD
Car isn't fully tuned yet, once wastegate and a few supporting mods come in Ill give you final numbers, I just have a base tune on it now since I was jonsing to drive the ****. LOL
As for body, I love the octane blue paint, I just want a touch brighter, like a shade or two lighter blue.
The shops you guys recommend, can they accommodate that?
