Just wondering. i was thinking of giving my car a nice glossy black/metallic if i could, just wondering how much will that cost roughly, but also i was wondering if it would be better if i get the body kit put on first before the respray.

having the body kit on already saves colour matching for the re-spray.

not to mention its cheaper because you dont need the whole car painted, then additional body parts.

best way to get a accurate price for a respray is to ring around. :)

saves being told it cost $x when really it is $y.

depends on your body kit, if they are fibreglass, they cannot go into the oven, gotta wait till paint to dry slowly..abt 1 week, hoping sunny weather.....

it'll be quite fast for the rest of the car, if they are oven baked...well done...yummy...

I want pie!!

if you want a real qual job there is a place in malaga that uses house of kolor paint. some of the things he has had come out of there are nice...

his name is ryan... cant remember the name of the shop tho sorry.

(but it wont be ya cheap 11-2k job i would think, plus metalics cost more and yeah as gazza said its gotta be rubbed back etc if you want it to look good)

dont bother with flake paint, i have it on my car and its more trouble than its worth.

it also costs a fortune cos our car has the base colour (black) then 3 layers of flake with 9 layers of clear.

its extremely time consuming to look after and its hard to colour match if ur car gets damaged. ours is causing a lot of hassles as we have to get our boot replaced and repainted and we dont have the mix details....

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
