i sanded it all down with a wheel, then wet sanded it with 600g, then 800g.
buffed it down, polished where the purple is.. then went to walmart and got a can of the $0.99 black and the shiny purple, its like an anodized purple..

I hope that isn't your parent's master bath room tub. Haha

Aircraft Stripper would have made that process so much quicker. Just a heads-up for next time.

True indeed. Although aircraft stripper made it hard for me to get some stuck on paint off my wheels. Im about to go to town with some sandpaper.

**** that sucks. i broke the clutch disk in my gsr swapped ej1 a couple months back. a part of it jammed the pressure plate and wouldn't let it disengage lol. that was fun limping home. starting the car in gear to take off lol. at least it was only 4 miles from my place and only 2 roads. i ended up changing the master and slave cylinder before finally pulling the trans. they were both leaking a little bit any ways.
