Panel Shops In Se

:lol:

Dan - word of advice, troy is an expert on all things great and small, including spiderman figurines.

I think your credibility ended with

nope I get em painted

If you arent doing the job yourself, dont have a go and try to discredit people who:

1) Do it themselves

2) Do a proper job

3) Have just a "little" more expirience than yourself.

Even an idiot would realise a proper job of stripping and FULL change colour isnt 2k RETAIL.

Even the paint alone is half that

I'll tell you what mate, if you have so much confidence in your $2k paint job go and get it done.. If you're happy with it, great. I know i wouldn't be. Some people care about their cars.

I happen to have been around some work on cars lately, and a full respray is a complete BALL BREAKER of a job. Anyone who charges $2k is stupid or lazy.

Don't want to add fuel to the fire but 2K for a paint job is not out of the question. It all depends on a few things :

- quality of the paint itself

- any coating involved?

- how it is used and how much (I never knew that respray uses so little paint)

- any body work done prior to the respray

I think for some body work and a typical respray, $2k would be reasonable. I hear of people paying $4k and above. Quite frankly if they are using paint that doesn't chip, doesn't crack, doesn't bubble, prevents door dings, keying then I would be first in line for such a paint.

I see no point paying so much when our cars are still so vulnerable to crap happening at car parks.

Informer: they're talking about bare metal resprays. stripped back to nothing, and full color changes etc.

not just a fresh coat of paint...

[Informer]

I don't hear much of people stripping the entire paint off, that is an extremely rare case and I would say that it would cost too much money that's why people just go for the basic stripping and something for the paint to stick.

Respray can cost anywhere from $700 to $3000, for standard work (again depending on the paint and work required to the body). I did my car for around $1000 to make it a little darker and fix up scratches and dents.

[R31Nismoid]

you're obviously using low quality paint

Thats the bottom line of the story really.
