Panel Shops In Se

[mook1]

hey guys,

just after a good panel shop in SE burbs.. i got a fair bit of work to do.

i got quoted 2.5k to

respray roof

modify front bar & spray

pump front quarter & spray

think this is a good deal.?

thanks.

[TracidTrax]

hmmm im think thats a bit too expensive, some places u can get a whole respray for 2.5k

what do u mean pump front quarter? u mean flareing them up a bit?

[Mavric]

Personally i would take my car to Gal Smash in Tullamarine..

9330 3137 ask for dave

Tell him you know matt in the Yellow 33

Dude i live in Dandy and i take my car to him, hes a gun and his work is fantastic.. But thats just my recomondation....

any panel shop charges 1.5k to 2k for a respray in da same colour, for 2k you can generally get a complete strip n respray in a different colour...

front bar modification n spray 300 + 150(for the respray)

if ur talkin about the front quater panels to look like the gtr ones, then $400 for the pair + $150 to $250 for respray...

these are general bargains that i have come across in my experience

[Bass Junky]

Depends on what needs to be done.

If you take the car there with all the chips filled and sanded and the headlights removed and trim removed and all that then you can get it a little cheaper, but generally, you get what you pay for.

Is it metallic paint or straight colour?

[ylwgtr2]

[ylwgtr2]

ok man....no need ta cry abt it....i wuz jus sayin what quotes i've got n the prices that work has been done for.

n u mentioned 4 litres of clear PPG (ceramiclear)$600, first of all lemme know if ur a professional painter? then lemme know y u take 4 litres of clear coat for a car the size of a skyline???

if u r a painter, i can imagine the ripoff..... :lol:

[ylwgtr2]

well if you would like to nit pick......if your painting a full body kit,and flow coating the car...you would most certainly use 4 litres of clear......any other questions??????

observe his question to us, carefully.... Quote "if your painting a full body kit,and flow coating the car...you would most certainly use 4 litres of clear", I don see where he needs all that to be done, but your break down is a classic example of a panel shops quotation breakdown, when they intend to rip u off....

anyways am jus messin wiz u....so dont take it too seriously mate....

The thing i am observing is where you quote a complete strip and repaint for 2k.....the thing is theres guys that take pride and use good materials.....so i ran the figures you do the math....its not that hard......the problem is there to many "professionals" who give advice such as you have ......let me ask you something.....have you ever painted a car????

I will assume you have experience there.....cuz I have never heard of anyone getting a paint job n then the pressure cleaner sheeting the paint off.....must be the high quality materials being used by u....
