Thinking Of Respraying My Car The Same Colour - Question For Guys In The Business

Gday, just a quick question for those in the know.

Ive got an R23 gtst, and i was wondering how much it might cost for a spraypainter to paint my car (in the factory white colour) if i prepare the car for painting.

Ive never done this before, but ill do the research before i take the car off the road; i just want to do all the simple (if it IS simple) prep work like cutting back, removal of door trims and factory body kit etc. Ill remove the engine again, as i really want to concentrate on this area. Then ill tow the car to someone who will hopefully only have to finnish off ding repair and start the painting process.

So im after a ballpark figure for materials and labour to finnish off what i might be able to do. Oh, ill have the windows removed too. If it matters, the current paint is in good condition, there are just a few scratches, dings, and dodgy overspray repair jobs, so im assuming ill just have to rough the surface up as prep for the new paint.

I dont want a dodgy job, it has to be top notch as i am a picky bastard.

Thanks for any insight,

Shaun.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      Not sure if this helps but I had a similar issue where one of the doors wouldn't lock unless I pressed the lock key twice. Turns out the door actuators were f**ked. In the Nissan service book it says to lube it every now and again, I guess put a bit a bit of wd-40. I replaced mine and haven't had a problem since.

      Hicas ball joint install tool

      2 things. 1. If you're going to buy a ball joint puller/pusher tool that is not advertised as being for the purpose you intend to use it for, then it is up to you to make sure, either before you buy, or after you first try (and possibly fail) that it will work for that task. 2. WTF? Putting HICAS balljoints back into a car implies retaining HICAS, which is just....dumb. HICAS can lick my left one.

      After cleaning the contacts in the remote, if it has rubber carbon pads on the buttons, give them a little wipe with a 2B pencil to add some fresh carbon back. Just a little wipe. Not too much.

      The one door lock not working intermittently sounds odd. But for the other issues I'd suggest to clean the contacts and everything on the little board inside the fob. I had the same issue with unlock working but not lock, and that solved it. It brings such a quality of life change to be able to lock and unlock the car like a normal person
