I can reccomend a place. Sydney Central Panel. They just did a full respray on my 32 GTR. And I mean the whole hog, all windows out etc etc. very nice job. They have done a number of things for me now, and best of all they are very trustworthy. Speak to Tony, or Josh. 9319 6044 , Regent St Redfern. Anyone who's seen my car since the re-spray I'm sure will attest to the quality of the finish.

PS, tell Tony that I (Richard) sent you there. He will look after you.

So if someone goes there and gets some work done he won't get as good a job done cause he doesn't know you or said you sent him? Seems pretty unfair? :laugh:

Louie at exclusive colours also does a great job at a great price :)

I'll second that, Louie does an awesome job at a great price!

Give em a call 9631 2345. There at 431 Great Western Highway, Wentworthville just off the Cumberland Highway.

Cheers

Did a search, and this seemed to be the longest thread in the nsw section, Anyone got any other recommendations for getting a respray done?

Current is currently Bayside blue, but paint is a bit shit, full of scratches and chipping. Also panel gaps are a bit shite. Want to get it resprayed in the same colour and some panel alignment/work done, so would only be a close door job I suppose. Engine bay is in white already, so can't really be stuffed with that. Would be happy to have the car in the shop for a few months i needed. Asking up here, as the number of shops in canberra is limited.

Don't want/need a show quality finish, just need a nice job.

Louie does a top quality job for a great price. Give him a buzz and see when he can fit you in. His been respraying liners for SAU for years.

get it done in Thailand, i looked into it last week after noticing they love to rice out there cars, bikes and tuk tuks ect....

around 10 000 baht (around $350 AUD) for a whole car, any car depending on how hard the paint is to mix up, and the jobs i saw were equivalent to our standards here, and when you think of it, why are our spray painters charging us so much anyway? not like they went to uni and studied for 7 years to do it....

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
