Just want to get a fibreglass front bar sprayed in white ive prepped it and all so its ready to go with primer and top coat wondering how much average panel beater would charge as I cbf geting my equipment out and setup and buying paint if its gona be like 100.

^and if u want a receipt :D i doubt that i would exceed 200 if you are going to drop off just the bar ready for a spray. but having said that you may get a pretty crap job, the clear coat is really important because in 10,000km you may end up with heaps of stone chips everywhere

I pay $200 for the bar, and $200 for the lip for re-fiberglass / respray work at DT panels, prices vary of course depending on your front bar.

I do know that the front lip takes 10+mins to remove with a couple of people doing it :D

hit up dt panels OR primal garage if u wana ok job on a budget been a front bar wouldnt bother spending heaps its gunna get fkd up anyways stone chips etc regardless

I wouldn't even go near the latter that you recommend. DT Panels will be the place to go for a budget spray.

Well yeah my budget is 100 which is giving them the front bar on its own all prepped and ready to spary if its over 100 then I might aswel do it myself cause it will cost me like 60 or 70 to buy primer and paint, might give dt panels a call though as Ive heard there prices pretty good anyway give me a number?

why's that he is asking for a budget spray they will provide him with one? dont pull out some story that you expected top notch work or something cos if thats the case shame on you for not knowing better

i called dt panels they wanted 350 for me bringing it prepeed and all ready to spray i thought they were budget lmao? I wonder how much they would of wanted if I said fit and they had to prep it and yeah Im not after a show room finish just a acceptable one so no runs and stuff but you get what I mean

post some pics up after your done. have you ever painted something?

Yeah I can spray no worries ive done my rear skirts hood inteiror and other parts on my other car the question here was I was just thinking if could get it done for 100bux it would of cost the same as doing it myself by buying the paint and time and effort.

    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
    • I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
    • A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?
    • RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
