Full Respray For R33

[Bendar]

Ok, an age old question that I'm sure has popped up on this forum a million times.

Who recommends who for doing a full respray on my R33 gts25-t?

Now my car is black and I can only assume that it would not have to be taken back to bear metal,

but in saying that no price can be given unless someone sees the car.

I know you get what you pay for, but I would like to know if anyone can recommend

any workshops where they have been extremely happy with the result & what they paid.

As you have said yourself its been up on the forum a million times so why not search?

I personally recommend Gal Smash Repairs, as do quite a few other people.

I did do a search and came up with everything else but recommended workshops in Melbourne.

I recommend Transcar in Coolaroo/Cambellfield. No cutting corners, and very high attention to detail.

mi-colour in cheltenham

Yeah i had my car done by them (transcar) your welcome to check out my car if you ever come on a cruise or anything. Its a show quality paint job.

They used House of Kolor paint on my car and its a candy paint which is very expensive. I think it costs me like 10k but thats with gtr guards put on front and rear, stripped to a bare shell (no, interior, glass etc) bodykit moulded on with no screws, car high filled twice. aswell as a base coat b4 final painting.

Heres a pic of it in base coat b4 final paint..

It may seem expensive but, for the amount of work and detail they went into its totally worth it.

yeah Thai's paint job is awsome! It looks even better in real life!

[Bendar]

just out of curiosity, how much have you guys paid??

[Fugi]

he just said he paid around 10k.. but for house of kolor candy thats expected..

awsome colour candy33.. thats what colour i wanted but the price is way out of my price range.. and i herd that u have to respray every couple of years with candi.. is this true??

[dmr]

not being bias as my mechanic, but i recommend driftline racing in campbellfield as all the cars that i've seen fresh after spray are immaculate. he has done many nissan cars and has experience in the field. it won't be as cheap as chips but the quality is surely there.

Depending if you look after it or not, but it does have a tendency to fade or become patchy over time, and with candy its near impossible to retouch or repair, if say you get keyed etc. and normally requires a full respray, so i owuldnt reccomend a job like this for a street car.

I've only had my Candy red for a year or so and had to redo it (Candy Magenta), as my rear bar got cracked. The average HOK candy respray could be had for around the 8k mark, but like i said i had extra preparation done to it.

Here's my car in its new incarnation with full GTR bodywork which will be at Melb autosalon.

So if you were to go for something like a mettalic black, how much do you think it have costed??

[candy33]

It really depends on how much detail your after, but a regular black respray including jams but no engine bay would be around the 3-4k mark.

But then if you have a bodykit, dents, damage etc. then expect abit more.

a decent panel shop can touch up HOK no dramas, we have had a few of our show cars dmaged in transport. Worst of all being our candy gold supra Race Paint in Braeside fixed it perfectley for a very reasonable price and no-one could pick the damage repair in any light.
