Hard.
Sand it all back.
Fill it.
Prime it.
Paint it - with the right colour.
Blend it.

Oh yea it has to be shipped to Aus
But still <$30 is incredibly cheap!
This badge direct from Subaru is $50

Screw that. I'll buy the damn badge.! Pretty shitty about the brakes still.

Yea after all that work it sucks that it didn't turn out as planned
Some nice gloss black will do the trick though

[Sam]

So black and not a darker blue? They were already black from all the shit off the brakes... Haha

[Morgan]

Well it's up to you...
My pads expel a crap load of dust so no matter what I paint them, they will be black in no time...

[aekOne]

haha oh man, try living in my shoes. i'd love to have only wasted $17 on my car lol. light blue isn't always bad. i guess if you expected them to be dark but it does but i'd take a set of Project MU's or Endless any day





if you can afford it get the holes professionally plugged. i love the de-badged look. That outback badge does look ok though

[Morgan]

Doesn't matter how filthy that car is mate, it always takes a good photo!!!

They're about the colour of these. I should just get a p.mu sticker for them! Hahahahaha no but seriously I'll give them time cause they'll get a build up of brake pad dust soon and they'll go darker..

Ok I've used a plastic filler which was recommended for metal and the likes, I've filled the hole now just waiting for it to set and then gonna sand it before work. Should I use very fine sandpaper?

[Adam]

dont sand until you are ready to paint! how much do you need to sand?

[DukeNik'em]

Oo.. touching up white paint.....going to be a pain in the ass. The camoshops grey is alot easier to touch up and blend... But good luck with the rest of it.

i didnt even sand just put the silocon in and wiped it smooth , then used a cotton tip and applied the paint , u can notice it if you look close , but other than that its an easy way to fill the holes

Yep the white that was suppose to match the colour of the outback came out actually brighter than was suppose to. Has two whiter patches on it where the holes were. But the plastic filler worked good. Might take it to a paint pro to touch it up for me.

What frequency/gain/filters should I set the amp to? I can control the sub through my hear unit but at the moment I think it's not set right. Cheers
