[masTers]

Getting it painted.

[mitchy_]

oh :

damn car yards

[masTers]

Nearly painted....

Any one know the amount of colour coats and then clear coats on the GMG R32 GTR out of the factory? I know the colour is Nissan's KH2, but I have a body kit in mind and want it fitted after spraying and also want the bonnet resprayed to match the cars exact colour.

Also, what would it cost to get a kit + bonnet resprayed? I will probably take my car to damage control because I have some rust that I want them to clean up for me as well.

5500 it is going to cost me to get my car dont by fibre vision, going with black, red pearl, and gold glitter. i guess i am paying most of it by labour, cause of the colour i am after and this is just the out side of ther car

[mitchy_]

thats reasonably 'cheap' for what you are having done.

not having the door seals/engine bay/etc etc done?

i was going to get mine done in calsonic/bionic blue, before i decided to sell it, was looking at about $7,000 for that, but i *know* that would have been a good job.

[Topaz]

Resprays are bullshit expensive, I am probably looking at a grand then, just to get my bonnet done again and some rust fixed up.

[JUNR34]

I remenbered got quoted 10 grand to respray my lude a while ago and this is just the exterior from a Rac approved workshop. I just looked at the guy and laugh sif anyone will pay that much.

[Flash89]

yeah i would of too, first place i went to was the bentley smash repairs and he starting price was 5k

[masTers]

It costs what it costs. There is a bullshit amount of man hours in a respray (alot unpaid for the poor bastard doing the work)

[Flash89]

just wondering if i could get it any cheaper by doing some of the work for em

[sam5709]

umm depending if you have had any past experiance and how confident you are. could do the prep work your self, such as getting the car primed up and everything, takes a while and your car while look funny for a while but it really cuts down man hours therefor taking a huge chunk out of the cost,

me and my mate worked on priming his hilux mini truck every weekend, took a while but that was because we were shaving door handles etc.

it is time consuming but the longer you take to get the primer on there right and sanding it back so its 100 percent perfect the better finish you will get.

this is my mates car preped and when he got it sprayed hope this helps, if it doesnt then shoot me

[Flash89]

i have had no experience in this but i am up for the task. info i need to know is what to do really lol??

[Sleekman]

Lets say every 5 hours u spend on preping the car is 1 hr to painting

and yes theres a shit load of preping, not exactly hard but does need alot of patience and time

just stuff like, pullin dents out (big ones else u can just bog it lol), bog, sanding, primer
