How Much To Spray A Front Bumper

[armbrusb]

Hi,

I have a fibreglass R32 GTR front bar (for GTS) I would like sprayed in the factory white colour. How much have you guys paid to have your front bar sprayed?

Thanks.

[blind_elk]

Mine cost me $500, but that included some work to reinforce some thin sections where it wasn't manufactured too well. And it was Black.

[armbrusb]

Wow that seems like heaps! Did you get many quotes?

Also - is you car an R32GTS4 with an RB25 in it? (R32 GTS25t-4)

[blind_elk]

The guy had been recommended and I had used him before to respray the rear wing. I was happy with the job he did, so I didn't bother with other quotes.

Yes, the car is as you deciphered (engine is from a Stagea).

[armbrusb]

I guess I am considering a Stagea conversion in my GTS4. What did you pay for the engine? Is it stock? Which turbo did you go with? Did you do the swap yourself? Have you driven a GTR - does it compare? If you had it to do again considering the cost and result would you do it?

Lots of questions for enquiring minds.

$500 is way too much

There is a place in bayswater that will respray an entire car in 2-pak oven baked enamel for $599.....

Expect $100-150ish for just a front bar, just get a few quotes. Front bar is easy-as, because you can take the whole thing off the car, and don't have to remove any trims or anything.

Just go around a few panel beaters, and get some prices. don't pay $500, a front bar isn't hard to do at all.

We do them for $200 at my work but there is usually no time to do them as the insurance jobs take priority.

You get what you pay for.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

true, but for spraying a front bar. not much to screw up. u can spend 3 hours doing it and it will be perfect. so depends on how much they charge per hour, and what paint they use.

Plus you mentioned your cost included some modifications, so hard to compare what it would cost for just the respray...

I would say about $550 is on the mark

opps...ment $500

[Nathan_G1]

Depends where you live....i paid 350 for my vertex front bar to be sprayed, they cleaned it up made the lines flow, put to layers of undercoat on the fibreglass so that the actual paint would stick, then they sprayed it in the skyline burgandy (wine) colour and clear coated it.......looks better then my cars paint lol...and i thought 350 was a jip..CHAMPION CRASH REPAIRS ADELAIDE

ye $500 is too steep, u can buy your own spray painting gear and paint for that and still have money left over. My mate bought his own compressor, paint, sprayer and did his own spraying and came out good.

weekend worriers normally stuff it up

500 is normal

[limpus]

$500 to spray a front bar alone is very high and far from normal...i'd expect to pay anywhere between $250-300 for a GOOD job...

goodluck

Yeah it is expensive, but if you want a proper job you have to pay for it.

Done mine a few times..$400 - $450

[AzzurrA]

did my R32 GTR front bar for GTS-t for around $220 at one place

did my standard R32 GTS-t front bar for $220 at the same place... both 'reasonable' jobs

[limpus]

I personally have had a few spray jobs done...the basic price for this place i go to is $200 per panel or part...and the work is top notch...you'll be hard pressed to find workmanship of this calibre even at higher prices...i'm a firm believer of the saying "you get what you pay for" too...made that mistake before...krzysiu...since you're in melbourne too...if you ever need some work done...drop me a PM...i can guarantee you won't be disappointed with the quality of work done at this place....

[Busky2k]

You get what u pay for, but it doesnt mean that you're gonna get a dodgy job if its a bit cheaper and vice versa!
