Can I ask what you used to paint the dipstick? I have been meaning to do that for a while now, but I never convinced myself that the color match paint I have would stand up to the heat in the engine bay. That color looks excellent IMO and even if it doesn't quite match, I really like the industrial look and finish of it :tup:

Did you use the Nanoskin Autoscrub instead of clay?

Redetailed the car and moved out before it got too warm and crowded to Meilenwerk near Stuttgart. Great place for all things car and speed related. Many nice displays/dealers and restaurants and cafe's. Has a nice hotel there as well called the V8 Hotel.

Its a popular place to meet up for car clubs/bike clubs etc. Enjoy!

I had a can of krylon sitting around. I doubt the paint will withstand the heat of the engine bay... We'll see.

I used a CarPro Polyshave towel. Autoscrub has their version as well. Even better is the CarPro Polyshave block. Easier to use, and I would have used it if I wasn't waiting for it to arrive in my latest order.

Thanks Mr.kenchan. :tup:

I was also able to fixed the damage from the piece of truck tire I hit last week. Lucky for me the paint was mostly ok, just had to deal with rubber transfer.

Have I mentioned how much I hate transport trucks and most of their drivers?

Flushed some nasty looking clutch fluid with Motul RBF600 today. It was so dirty that I pumped the entire system 3-4 times probably. I used about 80% of the 1/2 L bottle I had. The pedal seems a bit soft now, but perfectly driveable. I'll see how it goes the next few days and do another air bleed if necessary.
