2-3 k respray is very possible. Most workshops have quoted me 2.5k and I've seen their past work.

I wont be spending 10k on a respray unless i'm going to park the car in the garage and not drive it. There's no point in doing a 10k respray driving on the freeway everyday and getting stone chips. I'd rather spend 2.5k on a respray and the rest on some wheels and performance.

I didn't ask you to recommend me to go to tafe to spray the car myself.

If you dont have a proper suggestion then dont bother posting at all.  

I already have a university degree so you can get ******

Thats the pot calling the kettle black, Funny how most tradesmen go through TAFE to only "supplement" their learning, yet the knob with a degree, has to call on these lesser mortals to do a Professional job on his car.

The way it works around most places is, you get respect through your quality of work, not through the pieces of paper that you have framed sitting on the wall.

well other subjetcs aside .. regardless of how funny they are!!!

i did my spray for $1600 .. however i did all the work of preparation myself. this was 1.5 years ago and havent had any problems with cracking or peeling or fading!

half of that cost was in the booth and spraypainter .. the other half was in paint.

if you have time and an alternate form of transport you could do it your self.. if your not inclined that way do a shop around of who will just spray a car that is already prepped if you buy paint .. then find out who will prep a car and not paint it .. ppl may round off the price due to doing the complete spray!

in regards to the kit .. well put them on yourself and that wont add any cost .. plus you wont be spraying the old stuff so the wing and front bar isn't a consideration really (other than aftermarket front bars seem to use more paint)

good luck with the hunt!

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
