Hi guys,

Long time no speak! Just wondering if you could impart some knowledge on me...where in Canberra is a good place to get your car re-sprayed? And how much would these places cost (approximately of course)? I'm not looking for a $15K showroom re-spray but I don’t want a dodgy - "it'll crack on you within a few months" job either. I don't really know a lot about paints and what affects the prices of them but I do want a reasonable metallic paint.

Thanks guys'n'gals.

Pat

really depends on what you want, you can get 2 pac finishes these days with acrilic paint (mind the spelling) so cost less due to not having to bake, plus all the other prep work. Your looking at 5k for a good job and thats if there is no dents in your car to start with.

A bloke I have met through work can get jobs done extremely cheap if you can prep the car yourself and supply the paint. Im talking $600 for a full respray in 2 pac. The way he gets it done so cheap is because he knows a place that spray paints kitchens. The job is pretty good, the only catch is they can only really do 2 pac. If you dont mind the gloss finish its a good option.

Thanks guys. Also thanks for the offer rebelde but I won't be doing it just yet as two reasons: I'm not sure if I want to keep my current car (which I may get re-sprayed) and the second being I'm looking into it more for when I get either a Skyline or 200sx (which I may have to get re-sprayed because I want a flawlessly beautiful car lol)....

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
