Re Spray

[Flash89]

Just wondering. i was thinking of giving my car a nice glossy black/metallic if i could, just wondering how much will that cost roughly, but also i was wondering if it would be better if i get the body kit put on first before the respray.

[mitchy_]

having the body kit on already saves colour matching for the re-spray.

not to mention its cheaper because you dont need the whole car painted, then additional body parts.

best way to get a accurate price for a respray is to ring around.

saves being told it cost $x when really it is $y.

Damage control or Dalcos but only if you want quality and know what it costs.

[teejay]

anything from 500 bucks to 10k

for a straight spray no huge repairs I wouldnt pay more then 2k

[N I B]

Quality materials can cost more than 2k.

car is already black just want to make is a nice glossy black.

car is already black just want to make is a nice glossy black.

that don't matter.. if ya looking to get a decent spray job car has to be rubbed back and primered b4 a respray

Like the saying goes "you get what you pay for", so yeah a good job will cost around 2 to 4k. Plus its a good idea to get the kit put on as well and get it spray at the same time to save money.

[Flash89]

what do yall think about the glitterly sparkle stuff you can have. any idea of the price

[Flash89]

also how long does the job take??

[SKY 34]

depends on your body kit, if they are fibreglass, they cannot go into the oven, gotta wait till paint to dry slowly..abt 1 week, hoping sunny weather.....

it'll be quite fast for the rest of the car, if they are oven baked...well done...yummy...

I want pie!!

if you want a real qual job there is a place in malaga that uses house of kolor paint. some of the things he has had come out of there are nice...

his name is ryan... cant remember the name of the shop tho sorry.

(but it wont be ya cheap 11-2k job i would think, plus metalics cost more and yeah as gazza said its gotta be rubbed back etc if you want it to look good)

[Rhianne]

dont bother with flake paint, i have it on my car and its more trouble than its worth.

it also costs a fortune cos our car has the base colour (black) then 3 layers of flake with 9 layers of clear.

its extremely time consuming to look after and its hard to colour match if ur car gets damaged. ours is causing a lot of hassles as we have to get our boot replaced and repainted and we dont have the mix details....

[Flash89]

aight then. so what do yous think i should be going for. the gloss black or the metallic??

[Rhianne]

primer looks hot...

[_8OO5TED_]

cover your sh*tter with glitter, you will love it and so will the chicks.

if not, go metallic black....

[Disko_Tek]

lol go the metalic but make sure if ya get anything custom you get the mixes written down somewhere you can find and that way you wont have the same issues as rhianne i guess...

either way its gonna cost ya a nice pocket or two so just make sure what ya pic is what ya want lol

[Rhianne]

yeah but different sprayers paint cars differently so i highly doubt itll ever look the same as the original.

i own the title of shitter with glitter! i made it up haha (my car really is a shitter!!!)

i rekon go metalic black, should look hot!!!

[Flash89]

well i got to start saving then. might be a while. wonder what the black will look like now if i was to buff it. went to works auto and they gave me a good deal with the du-luck kit.

Our GTR was finished yesterday.Major panal and paint detail inc room for more rubber.

$2500 was cheap, if it was performance work done it would have been well over $5000, These guys are good tradesmen and should make as much as Mechanics.
