holy shit you guys get ripped, we pay $100-$150 for just the booth hire here or if you prep the car our guys will paint it for around $550 including the booth

If you're not using 2 pack and you can't afford the booth you can do it in your own shed. I've had good success this way, but prep/cleaning the shed beforehand is crucial.

Adam, how much would you charge in total to respray a black R34 GTT incl. all prep and paint and labour ? I keep hearing $3k+ for a good job but to me that sounds like a complete rip.

[Sparkys]

$3k+ is totally cheap for a full paint job!!!!!! If someone charged even a ridiculously low rate of $20 an hour there's easily 150 hours worth of sanding, filling, painting and polishing and there's your $3k already without even paying for the paint.

[Wacky Dee]

150 hours? what's that like 4 weeks of 9-5 for one person ?

My dad's mate's son is a smash repairer and I've seen the work he's done on his car by himself in 2 days. Some old banged up shit box, looking like a show car with the nicest paint job ever. Where's this 150 hours coming from ? I didn't say I want to take it to some slackers out west who drink half a carton of VB during a single shift.

[gtrkiet]

lol 3k is a rip??? u cheapo... ahahaha

[Wacky Dee]

hey if one guy can do it in 2 days, yes it is a rip ...most tradies are overcharging, esp. considering most work for cash.

It's not rocket science or some dangerous job. If one guy can spray paint a car in 2-3 days and paint costs less than $1000 and you're billing $3k, you're a greedy mongrel. That's $2k pure profit for 2-3 days work? That's twice as much as average weekly wages.

[gtrkiet]

well why dont u go to all those workshop and say that to their face??? ahahaha and have you ever sanded down a car before? rofl i bet you 10 minutes of sanding and you will be sick of it! ahaha and plus it usually takes more than 2 days to paint... u sand it all during the day prima it at night spray it on the next afternoon and let it dry for another night, buff and polish next day, and thats working flat out and missing some spots like extra coat on prima/clear rebuff etc etc... think about it, and again thats working flat out.

[Wacky Dee]

yes working flat out for 3 days ... no one does that!

[gtrkiet]

exactly thats why it cost more than 3k for a good paintjob cos it takes time ur saying ur mates dad does it in 2 lol he must be dodge.

[gtrkiet]

its that or his a really hard worker lol

[Sparkys]

2 days for a full show car paint job? You're dreaming Denis.

I suggest you take your car to him if you're that worried about cash and see how long the paint job actually lasts. Even better, put your car in a show and see what the judges have to say about a 2 day paint job!

[gtrkiet]

his probly just another one of those ricer full sick my car in auto salon kids..
