R32 Paint Job?

[taylormcl31]

Hey guys so I'm Taylor and I'm from Alberta Canada. I'm new to the site and I'm looking at doing my first build on a R32 GTR. The engine has just under 80k on it and is sitting bone stock but it runs perfectly with no issues. The cars only problems are minor dents and peeling paint. It also needs some interior work as it's missing rear window sill cover and air vent covers. I'm looking for any advice you would all be able to give as far as costs of the paint job and fixing the dents (I know it will be no less then 4000) I'd also appreciate suggestions of good sites to visit to but parts! Finally I haven't decided where I want to take this car as far as the actual engine build any ideas suggestions or advice would really be appreciated !! Thanks! I'll upload some pictures as soon as I get the chance to give you guys a better idea of what I'm talking about!

Hi Taylor, ever thought of doing it yourself?

I like to DIY as much as i can, so my opinion is biased. And being in Australia i cant guess how much they charge for painting over there in Canada.

Anyway..... the GTR has alloy front guards and bonnett, maybe other bits too, so you would have to be careful, because its so soft.

Have a look at Youtube for some expert advice, also you can see how much work is involved.

Donnie Smith is another good one.

DIY can be very satisfying, and much cheaper.

But there is the risk of running into difficulty or doing a bad job, so dont tackle it if your not confident and determined.

And as with everything in life; education will help you make a good decision.
