ClutchBurndout-:( Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS8_Gohan Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 tried searching? isn't there a sticky at the top of this section? anyways, DT Panels. I won't quote as every car is different. You're prob better off getting everything done at once Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4222340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClutchBurndout-:( Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 the one at the top of this thread dosent have any websites, i dont really have time during the week to visit all the workshops yes it would be definatly better if i spray the whole car at the same time, but more expencive my current paint job bar a few things here and there is pretty decent. so yea Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4222350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBLUV Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 depends on the condition of the car as that determines the prep work needed for it more prep = more $ labour Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4222352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS8_Gohan Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 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.

ClutchBurndout-:( Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 how much they usualy charge bec? i sore around 800 -1500? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4224004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 ... 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.

llama_au Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 That would depend on your budget more than anything else. And if your car has a pearl paint it'll be harder to match.

R-SPEC Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 if you want all the panels to match up then do the whole car... why do some shops ask 10k+ for a paintjob? dont matter how good a job they do unless they dip your car in gold or something its just way too much Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4224244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Put a 10k paint job next to a 1500 paint job... fast forward a few years, you'll see. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/242059-spraying-price/#findComment-4224292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloutch Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 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. 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.

ClutchBurndout-:( Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 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...

Bec Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 If your not fussed, then just search the yellow pages for panel shops in your local area and pick one. Im sure they'll all do the same job and you'll get it in somewhere close to home. Problem solved.
