This looks great!

Car is lookin' fantastic. A few questions though, did you do a single stage paint job on the car or did you go base/clear? Also can you explain to me how the #19 injectors are better or the reason for them? I am new at the e30 and any information is useful.

Thinking of doing all red tails, yes?

It's a base clear paint job! And the #19 injectors seemed to have woken the motor up, and given it a little more response and some noticeable power. But also the chip is extremely helpful.

Mine turned out great. I say do it.

Did the injector ticking get louder with the #19s?

What'd you use?

No I have no ticking sound that sticks out for my exhaust tone/leak

I used some candy-red paint they made for me at the auto paint store. It is translucent and took about 3 coats to make it look right. I then covered that with a 2k clear. It was all done in an aerosol can. Super easy.

Looking good! I have to comment every time I see Calypso, it's just THAT good of a color. Bucket list for me

Haha thanks! By the way the roof rack idea came from your 318!

The red translucent paint was 17.50 for the can. 2k clear was pretty close to 20 for the can.

Cool, did you use anything to clean them up first? cause I have a white scuff on one and Idk if it'll come off..

I did use some prep-all and then a light coat if adhesion promoter I had. I paint a lot of stuff so I had most of this laying around. It really is simple though and makes a big visual difference.

If you go to an auto paint store I know they will set you right if they know anything.
