Hey all i thaught no better place to ask how much i'd expect to pay to paint a r33 boot lid and drift wing.. i walked into a panel beater just down the road from my place and asked how much to paint a boot and drift wing would cost.. he asked if i was quoted before and i said no... he said $800 to paint it...

I was thinking is that the normal price i'd be expecting from everyone i'd go to? i was wondering if anyone's painted them and wether they paid that much or what the go is?

Thanks heaps everyone!

George

prob about $400-$600 $800 is bullshit concidering a kit costs $1000 to paint

Yea i kinda thaught so... i was a bit stunned when he said that, and then he was saying if i want to blend the wing in with the boot he wont guarantee the work cos apparently it'll crack when i close my boot... oh well.. i just suppose i'll keep looking around :P

I got my guards fitted and painted for $400... and it was fkn hard to fit them..

So I would imagine it'd cost me $150-200 for painting a bootlid and wing since it would be alot easier.

whats he useing to paint it with GOLD

By the sounds of it he's just trying to make a few extra bucks,an thinks u no no better

recomend u try some were else

some were around $500 mark is respectibal

i got quoted $400 to respray my whole bootlid in pearl....cutting out and rewelding a rust spot and removing wing and welding up holes...so $800 is bullshit...the fact tht he's asked u if u have been quoted before if proof he's trying to rip you.

yea he seemed like the type of cocksukr that would do that...

now i'd understand paying $400 for what you got done but the fact that i said to him "all i want to do is give you a boot and you spray it.." pissed me off when he said $800 lol I asked him if he'd blend it in for that much with the guards and he said no thats extra LOL

f**k that for a joke... but hey thanks for your help ppl... i might try and get someone that does the work on the side to paint it for me as apposed to going to someone who has to pay over heads and rent and shit... its not a show car after all lol

I got a quote for $450 to cut out rust, change boot locks, remove old spoiler, weld holes and respray.

  • 3 weeks later...

well i got the bootlid and lip done... has anyone had any problems with the drift/stealth wings how they don't line up properly? as in theres a bit of a gap on the left of the boot as apposed to the right...

how much did it cost you?

$190 for the lip/wing and $250 for paint and fit

had that problem, did you get it from psi parts, mine either sat in the middle, or sat nicely on either side with about an inch gap on the other side, i end up and cut and re fibreglass mine

yea dude i did actually, its got a nice gap on the left of it, but i think its gona come off and at least go in the middle cos it looks a bit wierd

way too expensive; whole boot would be $300 - there $450.00 is max IMO

i'm not following what your trying to say...

joe blo - my mate/ panel beater said apparently it was the only way it could sit on the boot without the little lips on the sides sticking up, so he said in about a month or something he's going to re do it, but he said he can't paint over fresh paint cos it gives needs to set properly or something like that...

hey sinista how long would you say it took you to do the cut n shut job on it?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
