Group Buy - Painting Front Bar

[kabab]

Hey Majanal where abouts is this place as i got a scratch that i want to get fixed and a front bar to spray so it will probably take a few days.

[JiMb0]

Hey Maj, I'm after exactly what you listed there in regards to the $600 for basically the bodykit. Do you know how much he'd charge if I got the parts to him already off the car, eg, just took them over in the back of a van. Removing is easy and if it costs less for labour then that's great

[Majanal]

Hey guys,

Well he said that it will depend on each individual car... but he said that he would look after us. His quote on my car was on not seeing it for about 4 weeks and all parts were to stay on the car.

SO,

Jimbo,

Yours would probably be the same roughly.

Kabab,

If the bar can be sprayed on the car then it should be around $130. to do the scratch if it is just a spray in the same colour (which it obviously will) then probably around $80-$120?

Has anyone got any other estimates or should I start talking a bit more seriously to this guy?

Dan.

[kabab]

I've got a quote on the scratch which is about $300 which sounds about right because it will need the have then entire rear 1/4 sprayed to look good.

As for the bar it will need a fair bit of finishing and will have to be sprayed and fitted.

Whats the actual location of this place becuase i can't afford to be without my car for to long..

Thanks for your help !

Shit Kabab, Fibremotive will prepare and spray a whole panel for $250

I'll be getting a quote soon from a mates smash repairer as I'm getting some other stuff done to the car and will be seeing if I sneak in a respray of some of the body kit.

[Majanal]

kabab,

The shop is out Richmond way. I'll give the bloke a ring tomorrow and get his address. Does your rear need panel beating? Call me tomorrow and I'll give you his number if you want. (I have his card in my car and my Girl has my car at the moment! Sorry)

My number is 0414 195 896, you can call me anytime before 1 tomorrow as I have meetings after that.

Dan.

I spoke to Mark @ Hills MS today - he has a Spray Shop / Panel Beaters on the Central Coast - He would do good deal for us SAU people, but like everyone knows, every job is different. I'll ask more specific details next week when I see him again. I know the central coast is a drag, but if it saves the bucks, then wtf ?? Stay tuned.....

[kabab]

Richmond is to far thanks for the offer anyway !! i may just bite the bullet and go to vision god they are good but $$$....

[kabab]

I'm down for vision No. 4

What: Front Bar respray and (some small fixes on the front bar).

What: rear quarter respray (i can arrange this with them).

Color gunmetal grey.

I can wait a few weeks if need be.

[Airzone]

Hrmm.. I'm looking at getting some side-skirts for my beast, but they'll need to be sprayed and fitted. I talked to this one guy who reackons around $250 for a spray and fit of both skirts.

How's that price? Good, average, pretty expensive?

[HEL-RZA]

im in for no1

price on full respray of whole car bumper to bumper gunmetal grey.

R32 GTST

also may need to fix a couple of small dents, would be nice to get a price on that as well. but i will most likely fix them my self.

cheers

[Duncan]

HEL-RZA,

I'm not sure about the price for whole car, only quote I got for that was ~$4000 from Hume Smash.

Guys, can you please indicate both first preference and who else you would be OK with, so far there won't be a group coz we're all looking at different shops!

shop 1: 1

shop 2: 2

shop 4: 1

Airzone, $250 sounds about right, are you in for a group or going with someone else?

[Duncan]

Hi All,

Looks like group buy is disbanded unless we can get some more agreement on a single workshop.

Please reply to this thread by Friday if you are in, otherwise we'll have to make our own arrangements. We can still contact the stores above, but I would expect higher prices.

[B-Man]

Yeah - Sorry Duncan - all those places are a bit of a hassle for me - I think I'll just find someone local ..

Thanks for the effort man !!

Cheers,
