Fats I remember your car at the old workshop in Yennora, very heavy metal flakes on that paint came out very nice.

aquariuz6 he can do any repairs mate, he has a very good panel beater now, bring your car in for a quote.

ShaneF, I recently had my R32 resprayed from grey to black. Realy depends how good of a finish you want. He can do it cheap and it wil still look good, or he can do a better finish for a little more and then there's show car finish which he pretty much spends a whole day to just paint your car and then waits a week then rub back and flow coat it. So pretty much he has a finish for all budgets.

This is some pics of my car of what he calls a medium finish not quite show finish as its my everyday driver. This is straight from the gun, unbuffed or polished.

man thats shit hot!! Think i might have to have a chat to this guy. My car is in SERIOUS need of a full respray...

dont want to burst your bubble, but it dosnt matter if you used crap paint/good paint, all paint straight out the booth outside in the sun looks sexy, the quality of work/materials used only really shows up months down the track, if it looks that good still, or is borked to crap :whistling:

I'm guessing you havent witness many painters work then. Most of them come out of the booth lumpy, saggy, uneven, orange peel etc. It's only after they chop and buff the crap out of it before they start looking even. If you dont think the quality of work wont show up straight away or within a couple of weeks (curing time) then you're kidding yourself or dont know what to look for.

The materials do matter, but you dont have to have the most expensive to achieve a good finish. When I was talking about prices of finishes I was more referring to the extra time taken for prep work and spraying time rather then materials. All though he does use different clear coats for show finishes. Actually Louie specialises in making his own colours using his prefered brands of paint rather then charging the customers the high prices of eg House Of Colours paints, this is why he is so affordable

Wow... thats looks nice.

How much did it cost you for that job? if you dont mind me asking?

We got the 350 back from Louie today and we are very happy with the job. And also the price he charged to respray the front bar :glare:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get the front bar resprayed?

Mine's not too bad, but has a few too many stone chips for my liking, so I'd consider getting it resprayed if it's not overly expensive (might even get my g/f's front bar done also).

Thanks :laugh:

It was under 500 to respray front bar and repair and paint a scrape on the rear quarter, not sure if that was a special SAU price but it seemed pretty damn good to me :D

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
