Depends on how good a job you want. A good job will cost you around the 10K mark.

10k would have to be a really good job!!

its also depends on if theres anything wrong with body, if not u can get a good job for 6k, try and find someone who knows a painter..

Bit steep I reckon.

You can get a "good job" for around 4-5k.

If you pay anything more than that, expect a Show Car job.

Ofcourse, it helps to know someone in the industry for mates rates.

best thing i think to do (as ive done it before) rub it back and sand it yourself, because thats the most labour intensive part that apprentices normaly do anyways.

and then get the people to respray it.

I'm looking at changing the color of My Stagea...How easy is the prep to do urself?

if your doing a colour change then im assuming youll be pulling the engine out too, so that might be a bit of work.

It wasnt that hard to do, just alot of work and time consuming. The right tools and thats about it. Just dont get lazy or you will start cutting corners.

Im about to respray my current car in the coming months, once ive repaired everything on it.

So maybee wait for that and ill tell you how it goes.

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
