Ive checked out a few places and the quotes to get a fibreglass 400r sprayed in white are:

$320

About $300 (verbal)

$400

over $450

Anyone recommend someone that can do a good job but maybe a little cheaper? Ive got quotes from FIbrevision and Cowley smash (cheapest 2).

Thanks

Thats weird I was quoted only $150 to spray my front bar (JUN) by Fibrevision "provided I sand back of course"

Had a few other quotes and none were over $300!

Is it Brand new front bar? If so should be fairlly cheap!

them prices u have been quoted are pretty good. $350-450 is about the average price to get a bumper painted. Bein fiberglass it will cost a lil more cos there is always some sort of extra prep wor required (eg: pin holes, gel coat blisters or just marks left from the mould).

A 400R bar has slightly bigger vents meanin tricky angles to spray at and is generally bigger than a standard bar so another reason costs more

Just had my front bar 400r painted in pearl white. Cost me $500

The guy had to sand it down and prime it 2x then 3x coat of paint and then 2x clear i think not too sure on number of clear coats. It was painted by nick alberto`s in Osborne Park. These are the guy`s that do all the paint work for Alf Barbagello`s so they are used to doing ferrari`s,porche,lambo and all those exotic cars.

Its getting put on the car next week by Ken at hyperdrive along with all other mods going into the car.

Got 2 quotes yesterday!

"For Pearl Black respray ; front bar and bonnet"

Needs a fair bit of prep work!

1st quote: $290

2nd quote $350 (includes bracing front bar to restrict movement)

However I am just out of perth atm! I thought perth would be cheaper as in more competition but yeh not the case!

nearly every painter is gonna opt for "blending" adjacent panels when painting a car. While its not impossible to match a colour edge to edge perfect it does take a long time. I have spent up to 5 hours just tryin to match a colour.

With spraypainting bein on such a tight profit margin it is alot easier and quicker to to mix the colour to say a 95% right colour match then flick the colour and clear over any adjacent panels.

This may sound a lil dodgy to any1 not in the industry but this is actually the recommended method by the more reputable paint companies.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
