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.

    • 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?
    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
