hey guys im an aprentice painter just to give an idea for prices this is a cashy i did in a shed working with my friend a panel beater: panel work: car was shocking key scratched most panels and pre existing bog patches un rubbed in a few spots all badge holes were welded and smoothed over car was striped to paint inside and out bar engine bay $600 paint prep: repairs were all prepared to prime, key scatches all feathered out and prepared and whole car was primed apart from bonnet which didnt need priming. inside doors were painted then doors were layed flat and body was painted seperate along with the bonnet off the car.. after the car had been painted and re-assembled the car was de-nibbed and polished ( as it was done in a shed mainly the bonnet and roof were considerably dirty although paint job was even dirt had to be removed) a cheap clear was used and went slighty dull so a light wet rub and polish brought it up to standard shine. $1200 paint materials: we picked up a mis tint of protec basecoat 4l for 1oo dollars compared to a usual 100 per litre cost. clear was cheap at promo price 4l with hardner thinners 150. also needed were sand papers wax and grease remover miwing cups tack rags masking tape and such which came to about 100 dolars so al up it came to $2350 around a bouts give or take 100 bucks, this was done slightly cheaper for a mate but you get the idea.. the finish was suprisingly good for a shed job the body was 100 times better than before and the guy was stoked! his words were "i cant belive this is my car" lol so guess it depends on how much you as a customer know about paint and defects in paint and what to look for in a paint job heres a few photos of the job:

could be anything mine pedal all of a sudden got sloppy hitting the floor and it was extremely hard to get in gear. took it to get a new clutch fitted. mechanic over the phone said it sounded like a spring in the clutch had come out and jammed. so got a new clutch he fitted it then said " some thing had snapped and he welded that too. " so im thinking thats what went and i got a new clutch for nothing

heres my tip, dont hide your turbo timer near fuse box, only to be pulled over and try to turn it off before the cop gets out, paniking and failing and having the turbo timer hanging right in front of his eyes.. sure is a good way to get a straight to regency, do not pass go and do not colect 200$ lol stupid me

mate i can do the paintwork if its been primed also i can prime if need be, and if the panel work falls through ive got a panel beater too, im not far from lonsdale either 0403506170

to prep a fibre glass bar a pre-sand is required it smoothen surface, using about p180 to p240 dry and any pin holes filled in using a body filler, then the bar should be primed in a hi build 2pac filler/primer.. when cured properly it can be sanded 2 ways wet or dry: depending on the brand of paint you are using some brands require a finer sanding because they show marks more, dry use an orbital sander (quicker than wet rub) with a soft interface pad using p240, followed by p500. wet by hand use p320 followed by p800.. this is only a rough guide im sure everyone has different ways, just how i would do it

if your going to paint strip it, after you have appllied th stuff, put some plastic sheeting over it for the recomended time it to be left on, this helps dramatically in removing the paint.. ( think it just keeps all the solvent in and stops oxygen gettin in) if ya didnt already know
