Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Woke up this morning to find my stivo had been key'ed, 2 deep gashes in the passenger side about 10cm each in length.

Was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some Cascade Blue 8P4 Mica Touch up paint in Aus/Melb? I've called Toyota and they only have paint for cars that have been manufactured in Aus, but the stivo was made in South Africa? I've checked the net and it seems I have to outsource touchup paint overseas.

fuk man, these people should be shot! :angry:

toyota SHOULD have them but if you wanna try autobarn?

10 cms is long man, is it all the way down to the primer/metal?

Yeah, 2 deep gashes, right down to the primer. Don't know why they would do such a thing.

WTF man?!?! lowlife F$#@$!, if it's deep and that long I would advise against using touch up paint.

I suppose, I'm gathering quotes from panel beaters to see if I can get my door resprayed.

fukers strikes again .....

oh well, i feel sorry for you dude ....

If the scratch is deep then it might be better to repaint the whole door .... no touch up paint will bring that away.

Been rubbing anyone the wrong way trung? Thats painful man. I also dont think touch up paint will do the trick. Like tomee said, probli have to do your whole door. Hopefully the color match is perfect

Using touch up paint on them will stand out like dog balls, when getting the door sprayed they will have to blend other door/gaurd aswell so it all blends in.

A word of warning regarding the Autobarn paint. I have the same coloured Sportivo and got some paint made up and even matched via code and with paint to my duco and it was so different i threw it in the bin! I would have it professionally done if funds are there!

Thanks for the comments,

Something interesting.. I used some of my mates Meguiars Scratch X on it, worked on and around the scratch for about two hours and it actually turned out not bad, the scratch has faded a little, primer paint isn't as obvious. From a few metres away, you probably can't notice it, but I have bad eye sight :P. It's a good enough look for now, until I get some funds and do a proper respray.

When I got my eyelids done I asked for a tin of paint. So I got 8p4 blue aswell and the eyelids came really close to the bonnet so it's why I still got the tin. Used it for a couple of stone chips too from trucks and sall good

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
