No.

man $2k, from a panel shop? must be shitty quality. sorry mate but a respray starts bout 3k + buldge + dents and the stripe.
+ for good quality primer, basecoat, clear, thinners, ect ect
not having a go but that sounds to cheap.

by **iliov** » October 10th, 2008, 8:38 pm

Is it a full repray or just like the outside.

by **LUXO_8** » October 10th, 2008, 8:46 pm

OK, when i say full re spray, I do actually mean JUST the outside.
And its costing all up close to $2,600.

And the place that is doing it has done the work on Bombers car, so ive seen the quality.

It wont end up like that at all Wayne he does good qaulity work not sure on the paint but seen a few of the cars he has done and they look good but his prep is awesome.

by **Dansedgli** » October 11th, 2008, 8:58 am

Was that $2k on top of the insurance money to fix it or $2k all up?

That sounds like a pretty good deal.

OH yeah i can see why you only payed 2k... i guess pink is close to red in color

by **forbsy** » October 11th, 2008, 12:12 pm

2g is abit cheap i paid about 1400 just un materials and i done all the work myself

by **Frost** » October 12th, 2008, 1:09 am

1700 is the standard respray minus the the materials.

You have sand,bog,sand,primer,fix bog, primer, sand, wetrub, paint, clearcoat > Note you can always add a sand in between the paint and clearcoat. X that by 50-60 an hr then you get your labor price.

Do you use silcone based wax, polish, cleaner?

by **iliov** » October 12th, 2008, 11:24 am

Whats with all those places stating $799 reprays n shit???

Umm i didnt have to pay any thing for insurance last time when the truck T-boned me but insurance fixed the damage and i paid 2k for respray and fitting of kit. so 2k on top of all the damage that was repaird if thats what you were refering to Dan.

Ill find out what it was this week when I drop the AU back in Dyl.

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » October 12th, 2008, 1:14 pm

do they do factory paints?, anything panel wise happens 2 my car, might consider Cobalt Blue

Mate of mine is a sprayer at Europaint in Bayswater that have the $599 resprays sign out the front.

$599 Is a flat colour, NO bars, and you have to do all prep work.

Yeah I was just wondering if the insurance paid for a stocko paint job and you kicked in the difference for the different colour and bodykit.

If the insurance company paid for a stocko paint job and you kicked in $2k for the colour change and bodykit work then a paint job like yours might cost heaps more for someone else.

by **LOW_XR** » October 12th, 2008, 4:33 pm

$599?
well all i can say is you get what you pay for.
why people are tight arses when it come to this is beyond me.
it is one of the irst things you notice on the car is the color.

Yeah insurance just paid for stocko color down drivers side only. what i paid coverd for full spray in a custom red and then the pearl aswell as bodykit fit and paint. Id be guessing but if any one else walked in off the street where i had it done it would be around the 6k mark to have done what i did.

Thats right, well i had my rear bar painted by them after someone hit me went through insurance so i didnt pay they also did my front bar and no good at all!

Luckily (kinda) i got hit again up the arse and got the whole back end fixed/sprayed by M&M Groves (corner of Mountain Hwy/Jersey Rd ) and they did an awesome job!

Only a small joint but they sprayed a few cars featured in street machine and also my mates old man's '69 Shelby GT500 and the same quality to what they did on my EF.

have you thought about have it de-badged? I did it to mine and just makes it look much cleaner.....

by **t1MMy** » October 16th, 2008, 6:52 pm

Yes. Its also having the black strip that runs around the car colour coded red.

by **EF ECTIV** » October 16th, 2008, 7:29 pm

Yes he is. Front bar is coming off, rear bar is coming off, and the side skirts also

by **LOW_XR** » October 17th, 2008, 5:39 pm

stato with buldge looks good.

by **PseudoSarcasm** » October 19th, 2008, 10:40 pm

Hey guys, you sound like you know a bit about painting,
I'm slowly (very slowly) painting my car atm, so I thought I'd ask here instead of creating a new thread.
Any idea how much it'd cost to paint a 1/4 panel for example.. (prepped 'n all).
I've spray painted a few lil' bits and pieces (with spray cans), and it looks almost*** OK, but I've got a feeling that when I go for something larger, I'll screw it up
