Price of respray????


Recommended Posts

Not sure about all this commision business! but anyways... in regards to colours i can understand wanting to keep a custom mix a secret, but if its a factory colour then its really no secret anyway!

in regards to price of resprays just bear in mind that with pretty much anything that involves labour, you are usually going to get what you pay for.

Theres nothing worse than a nice car (or potentially nice car) with a cheap paintjob! runs, drips, poor masking, bad buffing... You dont have to spend 8k to get a good paint job. But the difference between 3k and 5k will be worth it IMO. Colour changes among the import scene is very common atm. Good if you want to stand out from standard, but youll have to spend a little more to stand out from all the cheap jobs.

hey all,

any idea the kinda price for just an overspray of the original colour? say, my car is black, with a few bland patches and generally not an A1 shiny coat. any idea rather then a full on colour change?

cheers, shaun.

basically a cut back and off the gun clear coat give it that show room shine

hey dude, would that work for me with the scratches?? they're not down to metal or anything but deep enough to notice.

i got no idea where ur from bud, but up in qld (brissy) theres a place called South East Smash Repairs, located next 2 where AresSpeed used to be.. done a few cars i know of.. if u want just a different colour on outside not inside doors n engine bay i think its about 1.5-2k. bare metal is about 3-3.5k which includes rust cut out etc.. if u wanna know more give us a PM..

yea but thats looks shit with the door jambs a different colour

engine bay i can understand but you cant leave the door jambs

if you cars a standard colour and its got scratches and a couple dents a flow coat can still work as long as the painter car match the colour for the areas that have to repaired

then the whole car gets a wet clear coat and hopfully it will be good enough off the gun and not need a buff

it will look like new

2GU UP 2 2 questions:

1. do you have any high res pics of your car? If so can you email me some to crazed_asian(at)hotmail.com or post a couple in your gallery?

2. did you ever get that C/F front lower lip spoiler? If so how much / pics?

you're a useful guy to have around man, thanks for answering so many questions. I might go and see the guys at MC racing when i've got enough spare dosh (prolly around tax return time!! hahaha)

Would be good if i could get it looking good without a full respray. If not then i guess i'll have to go all out

Cheers

G'day Anthony,

would be really interested (as a lot of people with GT-R's of our era) in a price for something like this, my paint is really mint apart from a couple of light scratches previous owner had on the front bar and some fading on the rear spoiler.... the only scratches at all are 2 kids bike handle (previous owner had rug rats!!) and the open metal ends have scratched a few marks in the side of it..... :(

any ideas? it is a non urgent matter.... car has to be driving first!!!!

just get it flow coated dude

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
