Painting Prices

[CR34M]

Hey everyone, if you don't already know i have been sourcing wider panels for my R34 for some time now and asking questions around here and there to get all the info i can.

Now i have finally purchased myself a set of Cross- Factory Wide fenders for the front and the back panels and im loking at putting my bodykit along with the panels together.

The difficulty with the next part is once its done, where is the best place to get your car painted for a reasonable price. (Less than 2K if possible)

I want to respray the whole car, as such i mean i want the shell painted, in the same colour i have now (white). Not the engine bay, not anyhting else just the new parts and a fresh coat over the old one.

Is there a place in Victoria that can do a good, cheap yet fairly quick job?

I look at recieving all the parts within the next few weeks and wish to put it all together within a week after that. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Cheap doesn't equal good with resprays, nothing ruins a nice looking car like a halfassed paintjob.

Try DT panels in springvale, i've heard good things about them.

Yes, through personal experience, no point saving money on cheap panel beating. What you pay is what you get. Depends on which area you are in. There are a couple of good panel shops around that SAU recommends.

just got a quote from DT panels around 1200 if i supply paints and they install all the bumpers side skirts etc so i think thats pretty good and they are free atm so they can do it any time .

Oh that sounds like some good places i can ring up and check out, I might give all of em a go n see who has the best outcome for my car.

I called up Chargespeed in Clayton, i don't know what the verdict is on them, im sure someone on SAU has had news on them before, except i havnt checked yet.

They qouted 3K for the paint...yikes, i guess thats the reality but its a damn lot considering i still got to get qoutes to fit the panels and bodykit itself aswell. Has anyone dealt with Chargespeed and know if they are any good? They have a few Autosalon project cars they have enetered so im guessing they are decent?

Thanks for the help guys, Let us know how DT panels comes along too.
