Where To Get A Spoiler Painted?

[wilch]

G'day guys,

I'm in need of a fibreglass spoiler to be painted (the little "drift/stealth" spoiler for R33's).

How much should I be looking at?

and, can anyone recommend a place?

I don't need it fitted, just painted. Also I've just been quoted $300 for painting only! Help!

Cheers,

wil..

Vision Smash Repairs at Artarmon did an awesome job on my car about a year ago. I'd recommend them to anyone at the drop of a hat.

yessum... but prices? Is $300 too much just for primer and paint?

Should I try and spray it myself?

Wil Try Sydney Central Panel beaters.....they are in redfern.

They did the respray for Richards car (Beer Baron) and the paint job is immaculate. They were also quite competitive in pricing when I got a quote for my car and will most probably be taking my car to them...and you know how anal I am with my car (metaphor)

PM him for details

yeah like my little buddy shonen says sydney central are very good. I've taken heaps of work there in the last two years (various cars including the recent GTR respray). Speak to Tony or Josh. tell them I sent you down there. they are 156 regent st, 9319 6044. take lots of pride in their work too. Josh the spraypainter there has a GT falcon replica which he built from scratch and is just awesome looking.

I'll do it for a case of Peroni

Any normal smash repairer will do it for around $100. That is not a cheap price even. not mates rates no nothing.

If you know the right people, like maybe some of those mentioned above, you can get it cheaper and better.

I reversed my parent's car into a bin that was just under the height of the bootlid so I couldn't see it. But I cracked the spoiler. Bought one from the wreckers and got it painted so I wouldn't get nagged by my parents.

Walked up to hornsby smash repairs - 100. Absolute smash repairs - 110$.

I got hornsby smash to do it. I wasn't expecting a goodd job, just your average daily driver sort of repair job. But suprisingly, it was perfect, good as factory and I am very picky.

If you were seriously contemplating doing it yourself, get a spray can, and try and spray an old computer case or something and see how shit it looks. Then you'll never try and spray something with a can ever again.

Or you could do what I did with an old panelvan I had.

Buy some Heritage Green Interior/Exterior Gloss.

Borrow air compressor and crappy paint gun.

Wind down the windows.

Cut sick.

I even opened the bonnet and did the engine bay too, and the engine, the battery, even the water bottle I used to top up the leaky radiator. Oh and the wheels - tried not to get too much on the tyres.

Man that was one green car.

Hahaha, abo, you're funny. I saw this old square pulsar driving around chatswood yesterday.

It was painted with matt black house paint with a brush. Funniest bit, some young p plate drivers thinking they were sick with their subwoofers.

Agreed, in my experience smash repairers have always been cheaper & the right one's do an excellent job.

Two years ago I was shopping around to get my s2 wing painted & fitted & getting price quotes avg. $300-$350. One even tried to charge me $500+!

I went to Medicar smash repair in St. Marys & they cost me $180 to paint & fit, the guy was looking at me like he was feeling guilty of overcharging me, but it was the cheapest price I found! They did an awesome job & since then I've been back to get my whole bodykit painted, you can't tell the difference between where they painted & the factory paint job they do an excellent job & I highly recommend them for anyone who just wants to get stuff painted.

Seriously, if it's just to paint a stealth wing have a look around at your local smash repairers/panel beaters & shop around till you find a place you're happy with.
