Hi BNR32t, I am not sure what is the best way to do this, i also dont want to spend more than $5000 to do this if i can.

Does it have to be back to bare metal is going over sufficient, and no i wont be preping the paint i want to pay a professional to do it right from the start.

Cheers,

Dave.

I think going down to bare metal depends on what colour you want the new colour to be. If you've got a gun metal colour now and want to go to something like black then you wouldn't have to, but then if you want to go to white or something then you will. Just my opinion, never done anything like this before myself.

$5000 should just do it. there is a lot of work in painting a car properly. if you are going to repalce all the rubber seals then cost will go up. I've done it to my car and my advise is if your seals are still in good condition leave them where they are and just get the car painted.

Mine now looks like this:

also that photo was taken about a year after the paint job and probably 6 months after any decent buff and polish. it's just washed in that photo, not buffed or polished.

I'm getting a bare metal respray on my 32 and I have had 3 quotes ranging from 11500 to 12000. Thats becuase of the nature of the repairs that have to be done. All the glass has to come out. So after three quotes its pretty much the industry pricing for the level of work my car requires, and it's a bare metal respray which is more expensive then just a normal spray job.

I guess it depends on what your car is like. I think its just a case of each car is individual and needs different levels of attention.

Hope to to see the pics when your done. What colour you going for?

Hey richard did you go for stock Nissan G.M.G or did you vary it? as in more pearl etc.....?

cheers
