Hey guys just bought my bodykit and wondering if anoyone knows a good place to get it fitted and sprayed? It needs a little bit of prep work.

Need somewhere that does a reasonable job for an good price. I know that you get what you pay for.... but still....

[sskylinee]

what the? i was just about to post up the same question!

i wanna respay as well! just got a body kit but i wanna spray the whole car at the same time

[Cillham]

any suggestions here would be appreciated aswell, next thing after service and tune will be saving for some paint fixes, and painting of front lip

Go and see Wally at Sillins Special Vehicles (Lonsdale) I can vouch for his work, its top quality. He can also arrange for someone to paint the bodykit.

[TIMMMAYYY]

Dont go where Joel went.

[hippy]

i can recommend a cheap place .. but quality no so good .. but its CHEAP ...

however, this guy does alot of PLATINUM cars ... ... did i mention he was cheap??

[sskylinee]

talking bout Procoat?

i heard he was good??

[hippy]

yep its procoat ... if you're after something really cheap ... but isn't oo bad ... then he is good ... this is how cheap he is ... mind you i've used him a few times myself and plus i've referred alot of people to him so he gives me mates rates i guess ...

but anyways i cracked my front bumper ... not a small crack ... but a big one ... fixed it .. painted ... paint wasn't too bad either, fitted again, the fitting wasn't too bad, wasnt' that good either, if there was one thing that wasn't good about his work its the fitting, but anyways he repainted a small area of the back bumper which had paint cracks due to an accident ... so all up 250 bucks LOL Admitted his paint work isn't the best, but hey for the money he charged, theres no way he could be beaten ... he also did for a mate a respray just the outer paint, and fixed alot of dents here and there, and also a big dent on the side ... all up 1k i think or there abouts ...

just remember to remind him to not leave the windows down when he works on the car else it'll get dirty lol

Provident Crash Repair at Glynde, did a top job with my bonnet - 83379325, Paul is the guy to speak to, good prices too

[Nozila]

ahh hiep you tight ass. =D I also know the owner of procoat, not suprisingly, who also coincidently lives just around the corner from my place. The guy is cheap if you just want a decent paint job of your car.

[sskylinee]

yeah i was told Procoat can do good jobs.. its just whether you want to pay the $$ for it

hmm..

[DRFT33]

hrmm.. mite go to Provident... Procoat sounds abit iffy.. hehe. got some BN side skirts and rear bar that needs sanding and all to fit properly... so need a place that can fit it well!

[Chris32]

Provident do the lot, they do alot of work for Viva Garage etc, so bodykits are no probs

Paul is very fussy too, he is a good bloke to have work on your car

[Cubes]

PM me if you want to know where not to go.

[DRFT33]

talked to paul at provident today... $2000 for bodykit fitted and painted :

Remember and listen very carefully.

You get what you pay for ESPECIALLY when it comes to paint work. I cannot stress that enough.

If you worship your car and pick every little new chip and stress about it then spend the $$ on a good job.

Ask your self if you really want the paint on the body kit to have more orange peel and look different than the body paint?

Cheap paint work can and will have a slightly different colour (some times a white wash to it), orange peel and visible sanding marks under the paint due to lack of care and time on the prep work.

well ... depends if u wanna pay ... if u got a nice low body kit .. expect damage to it soon ...
