Good Quote Or Not?

Hey peoples...

So im at the stage where i've decided i want a full body respray on my car...

I have a 1993 R33 GTSt coupe... Gunmetal Grey

I had a guy come round today to check out the car and quote it.

The following things are getting done...

Rub back, straighten body, prime, paint obviously.

Entire car will be the new ve green (including insides of doors, boot etc. bonnet gloss black (including underneath),

blade and side inserts on gtr spoiler gloss black.

Windows will be taken out for the job and put back in.

rubbers replaced... larger fascia style rubbers will be sanded smooth and sprayed gloss black

Bonnet is fibreglass, as is spoiler.. both are somewat ripply... he is sanding them right back.. using fibreglass resin to build over and make

perfectly smooth.

Engine bay will be completely sprayed the green to match car. (i will be removing engine)

windscreen wipers will be sprayed gloss black.

inside car (dash surrounds, glovebox, door inserts etc are currently white... getting sprayed gloss black.)

Rocker covers on engine are getting sprayed the green to match.

Brake calipers will also be sprayed (not sure wat colour)

Mesh is front bar and side skirts will be replaced with new mesh

Bonnet clips are starting to rust, he will be replacing with stainless ones

Thats roughly everything... i think...

For that i was quoted $7000. Asked to have the car for roughly a month. which isn't a big deal really as i have no licence atm...

thanks to an accumulation of points for avoidable things. lesson learnt.

another questions is... do i go ahead with this or sell the car and use that money plus 7 to get something better... if so wat?

keeping in mind that wat ever i get will likely be bog stock.

I live in the eastern suburbs... can anyone recommend someone else..? i want a good job for a good price not a cheap as one.

Regards

Sounds reasonably priced considering what i know a lot of people have paid @ various places.

Obviously there are cheaper places, but as with everything the workmanship costs $$$.

IMO i'd only spray a stock colour, but thats just me.

Id only be spending that kinda money if you intend to keep the car for at least another 4-5 year too btw

Sounds like a reasonable price considering the work required. Have you seen the paint shos previous work?

if it was me, i would be getting an r34 GT-T or a R33GTR if you can handle the upkeep!

always hidden costs when buying a new car though.

your car looks nice and unique i like it. it can pull off that outrageous bonnet too i think
