Hi nice work im going to try this on my sti Was wondering what paint you used for wheel arches

[@griceyboy]

Hey there, I just went over the original stone chip , with a few cans of Tetrosyl black stone chip paint. I warm the cans on the radiator or a bowl of hot water (just for a bit, otherwise they tend to clog ). Goes on perfect and looks original .

Cheers thanks for replying been nice watching your videos will help me along with my car

@@calumstrachan5353 Thankyou very much, always nice to hear that someone’s enjoying them . I’m loving my Impreza, such a bloody good car to drive / love the 6 speed, but feel my next task is to refurb the brake calipers as they are original and old.

nice work but you should not use stainless bots in suspension. tensile strength is low compared to OE stuff.

@@DunkiSTI ah that makes sense, I’ll check over the key structural bolts - Thankyou . I just hate the Subaru ones as they rust so so fast .
