Paint Paint Glorious Paint


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

If you have a need or a want for custom colour paint for a project ( well, I suppose you could spray your dog, but I wouldn't recommend this), I have 8 4litre tins of Dupont Metallic Acrylic. The paint is called 'Dupont 600' and retails around $150 per litre, so a 4ltr tin is worth roughly $600. I have the following colours;

Ford Acid Jazz ( yellowish gold colour)

Holden Tiger Mica

Montego Blue

Mint Green

and 2 other shades of blue, and 2 in red. For more details please call Mick on 0400 4300 51.

I'm happy to do any of these colors for $400. Or the lot for $2800.

In case you are wondering how I came to have this, I agreed to swap a set of Works Equips 11J and 13J with new Bridgestone 275 and 295 tyres for this paint.

Somehow I think I was duped. Or maybe I was duponted.

Anyway, BUY MY STUFF OR THE OLD GEEZER GETS IT!

Cheers,

J

I had a lamborghini orange colour in mind..been quoted $450 for 4 litres and had another lambo colour which i was quoted $285 for 3 litres for the dupont high coverage 600 ...but im after the lambo orange 3 layer colour....

can you get these around the $80 a litre mark?

Thanks RomkaR31,

Seeing as you are posting this and not by PM, the general SAU community may appreciate it if you also post who is giving you ( and the general public) these quotes so that they can take advantage of this, or alternatively make sure that I provide a competitive price in response.

So whilst I chase up the orange, what's say you post those contact details for all SAU members to utilise should they wish?

Once you've done that, let's take this to PM....

Is this for your respraying your smashed 32 GTST? or did you sell that?

Cheers,

J

$425 is trade price on those colours not 600

Guys,

We seem to be having communications problems here....

I did not state 'trade price', I stated 'retail price'. There is and should be a difference.

Still, if trade is $425, and I'm selling at $400 obo, that would suggest it's below trade price, right? So you're point is?

As I am sticking by my original quote on 'retail' price, and we now have a posted 'trade' price, may I ask other members to ensure that future posts are of relevance?

SirSkyline - thanks for the pricing, and I do appreciate this as it helps to give more clarity for other members, but please don't suggest that I was stating trade prices when I wasn't. Irrespective, my prices still look cheaper....

Now, for someone actually genuinely enquiring about the product, would be happy to hear from you...........

Cheers,

J

How much coverage would you get from 4 ltrs?

Hi Dan,

I spoke with guy who painted my GTR ( which also helps to show one of the colors, this is the green, although it's also had a pearl run through it), and he said that 9 times out of 10 a 4ltr tin will be sufficient to get an R33 done. He used 3.5ltrs in doing my car ( note: basically overspraying everywhere but NOT engine bay) which was grey to green, and 2.5 ltrs on his own car ( also shown in the photo), which was blue to purple. He recommended using a cheap base coat, then this metallic acryllic over the top, then applying the 2-pac clear.

Not sure if this helps, get back to me if further detail needed.

cheers

    • Luckily I haven’t bought one yet but I’ve had several people tell me different things and was trying to find out what’s going on with my car lol apparently type m had different lover knuckles like the gtr but someone put non type m knuckles on mine Ok on another topic does anyone have a spindle for sale mine is screwed bad lmao 
    • The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.
    • Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted
    • Ok so I have a little bit of an issue. So I have a 1992 r32gtst and trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and spindle the research I’ve done shows a different style bearing than what is currently on my car. So the picture of the new bearing with the box says it’s the correct bearing as does my research but the picture shown of the old bearing is the one that came off the car. I’m a bit confused the new bearing has an ear on it that I’m assuming goes to where the top of the ebrake shoes mount as to where my old bearing does not. Any help would be awesome 
    • What in the absolute mind f**k. Generally speaking, you cannot diesel a petrol engine without sparkplugs which you don't have since you're disconnecting battery.... Something is very fishy here.
