hey all, just curious if i could get some rough prices on spraying a full bodykit, and for spraying a whole car (r33) im still deciding whether i should spray just the kit as im getting a new one, or spraying the whole thing.

if someone could give me some rough prices on both, or some websites for workshops in vic that i can browse that would be great

PS ive tried searching, but no luck.

peace

i checked the sticky, only DT panels didn't have a #, everyone else did.

depending where you are, if you're on a budget, DT Panels or Primal Garage (don't have personal experience) - one is east, one is west.

seriously, search harder... panel beaters/spray jobs/body kits, etc... those threads pop up with regularity in the Vic section.

... 800-1500 for a full respray + kit. I know some places thats all they charge... but you pay for good work. I'll just say that much.

Micolour will be substantially more than that, but then the work is without fault.

Also where is the kit coming from?

If its a copy kit... A lot of the time it isn't going to fit. There will be work required to make it fit correctly.

Hell even transit can warp body kits etc. So its highly likely.

Id' budget 3k at the bare minimum. If it was my car, i'd be budgeting 5k.

As ive said before... any spray can look good. Its 5-10years later that the really good work shines when the cheaper jobs fail due to poorer materials, prep and so on associated with low cost.

Oh, and most places dont have websites... its hard to quote anything online without seeing the car. Always best to take it for a visual.

Cheers

From the two shops you mentioned, i would recommend DT Panels and not the other one.

Some panel shops create an orange peel effect on your panel. This shows the quality of the work. Experience from many people showed that we shouldn't be too anal about the cost, it is the effort put into the spray painting.

lol yea im not going to swap my house for a paint job on my car, if, IF the paint starts to look dodgy after 5 years, ill get another paint job, it will still be under 5k or 10k$

it might look dodgy but maybe i should just get the panels that have the damage on them sprayed? im just afraid the colour will be to different, i mean, the origional paint on the car hasnt faded bugger all, so perhaps im in the good!

PS its not a show car, its my everyday car, there will be stone chips etc, so im not gonna be extremely anal about it, aslong as its a decent job with no paint variations or bodgy paint spraying...

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
