Any1 know of a cheap place I can just get my front bar resprayed black? Im going to be re-fibreglassing it in the next week or 2 including priming and sanding, so I just need a spraypainter or home job with good results to give it a few coats of skyline black

Cheers

i respray my mates ae86 with a few mates. spraying isnt that hard of a job really, i would take GWP up on his offered and uses his place. i work at a spray-painter and i find that he doesnt like doing job where the person has pre the thing 1st (as most of the time the job is shitty and he has to redo it to get the spraying job looking half-alright)

im about to do my frontbar myself as it has heaps of fiber class on it (brough it back from life :))

i gots a compressor, spray gun and shed out here in barragup yas can come down an spray youself if ya gets da paint an s&%$  

oh mite cost ya a brew or 2 for the old boy its his gear

Sounds good.. btw.. where the hell is barragup

yea also like to know how much roughly is the cost of spraying the front bar e.g. 400R, veilside etc. By the way mine is the wierd dark blue/green coloured line. Just thinking of also selling my stock s1 front bar, its two tone with the bottom half being grey in mint condition, no dents.

cheers

Guys, if you are thinking about doing it yourself, the most important thing are primer!

Without this don't bother. If the prime is nice and thick, with smooth sanding, than you only need, not so much of the actual colour. You have to sand the grains back, before you paint. Ok, now you have painted it. DO some more fine sanding before glossing it? 1000R paper.

Second most important thing is to put lots of gloss on it. Topcoat clear. So you can polish the thing later. And you have to give it few layers. 4 max. Coze buffing will wear it down.

The thing is a guys, if you sand the thing down, and put prime yourself, the painter will only cost you $80 bucks. That is very good considering the leaking spray scenarios at home.

Oh yeah, the painters have extractors on the roof, and much better equipment, like 6 to 12 hp painting machines with better flow ratios than the cheap home ones.

So if you want it looking good. ;) Well then :P

Any names of places that will do it for $80?

Any in our area?
