Fats I remember your car at the old workshop in Yennora, very heavy metal flakes on that paint came out very nice.

aquariuz6 he can do any repairs mate, he has a very good panel beater now, bring your car in for a quote.

ShaneF, I recently had my R32 resprayed from grey to black. Realy depends how good of a finish you want. He can do it cheap and it wil still look good, or he can do a better finish for a little more and then there's show car finish which he pretty much spends a whole day to just paint your car and then waits a week then rub back and flow coat it. So pretty much he has a finish for all budgets.

This is some pics of my car of what he calls a medium finish not quite show finish as its my everyday driver. This is straight from the gun, unbuffed or polished.

dont want to burst your bubble, but it dosnt matter if you used crap paint/good paint, all paint straight out the booth outside in the sun looks sexy, the quality of work/materials used only really shows up months down the track, if it looks that good still, or is borked to crap :whistling:

I'm guessing you havent witness many painters work then. Most of them come out of the booth lumpy, saggy, uneven, orange peel etc. It's only after they chop and buff the crap out of it before they start looking even. If you dont think the quality of work wont show up straight away or within a couple of weeks (curing time) then you're kidding yourself or dont know what to look for.

The materials do matter, but you dont have to have the most expensive to achieve a good finish. When I was talking about prices of finishes I was more referring to the extra time taken for prep work and spraying time rather then materials. All though he does use different clear coats for show finishes. Actually Louie specialises in making his own colours using his prefered brands of paint rather then charging the customers the high prices of eg House Of Colours paints, this is why he is so affordable

We got the 350 back from Louie today and we are very happy with the job. And also the price he charged to respray the front bar :glare:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get the front bar resprayed?

Mine's not too bad, but has a few too many stone chips for my liking, so I'd consider getting it resprayed if it's not overly expensive (might even get my g/f's front bar done also).

Thanks :laugh:

It was under 500 to respray front bar and repair and paint a scrape on the rear quarter, not sure if that was a special SAU price but it seemed pretty damn good to me :D

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
