just curious what people would be willing to pay to spray a whole bodykit:

front, back, side skirts and wing

and if anyone knows someone in melbourne that can do it cheap, cos i was quoted $1300 today and i couldnt believe it

thanx

1300 isnt that expensive. alot goes into preparing a kit to be sprayed. alot of sanding, filling etc. i had a front bar and sides skirts painted for $450 but i did all the prep work saving heaps but it took hrs of time.

u might be able to get it down to 1k but your getting a whole kit done

i'm going to be getting some things sprayed, actually a lot sprayed now i think about it.

front/rear bumpers. spoiler, and rear quarters (to cover up the fugly holes left by the fugly rear spoiler) but i'm most probably gonna get a freebie :) - that aside, what's involved in prep work and can anyone do it or should you leave it to the pros? I've never done any sanding type stuff ever before.

cheers.

EDIT: Pashak, do you need stuff done right now? I might be able to hook you up (not free, sorry!) at least give you a contact. Place is North Melbourne, off kingsway, pretty much CBD.

SS8_Gohan: yeah that what be great, i want it sprayed asap, details would be appreciated...

i will do all the preping myself, all i need is the highfill done and paint in tupac black

i might even do the highfill myself, if i can get my hands on an aircompressor

how much do u think it'll cost if i do the prep and highfill myself??

cos then all that needs to be done is paint, that should work out a hell of a lot cheaper...

The sanding part is easy,you need a good eye for a nice even sanded surface,for detail mostly and not be a slacker.....Im thinking about a full respray after i get my kit as there are a few touch ups arround the car and i think with a freshly sprayed kit/car it will make the car look good...

Interesting topic guys, just got my car back from getting my 400r front and rear fitted, prepped and sprayed...

The kit to get sprayed was:

$400 for front bar including indicator fit

$300 for rear

$100 for pods

Heres a pic of the finished job... Only 4 hours after getting the car back :D

hey guys, so sorry for the delay

mb# is 0411 145 145 - Name is Dietmar (i think that's how you spell it, pronounced 'Ditmar', he's Austrian) - It's relatively new workshop as he's moved from his old one. Tell him 'Daniel Chin' referred you.

I was told $350 for a panel, just for a spray. But like lwells was saying, he would have to see the panels first, so Pashak, you'd have to show him your handy work, see if everything is up to scratch :D

Seems like a decent price, and we might be able to organise something a little better.

cheers,

daniel.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
