I can reccomend a place. Sydney Central Panel. They just did a full respray on my 32 GTR. And I mean the whole hog, all windows out etc etc. very nice job. They have done a number of things for me now, and best of all they are very trustworthy. Speak to Tony, or Josh. 9319 6044 , Regent St Redfern. Anyone who's seen my car since the re-spray I'm sure will attest to the quality of the finish.

PS, tell Tony that I (Richard) sent you there. He will look after you.

So if someone goes there and gets some work done he won't get as good a job done cause he doesn't know you or said you sent him? Seems pretty unfair? :laugh:

Louie at exclusive colours also does a great job at a great price :)

I'll second that, Louie does an awesome job at a great price!

Give em a call 9631 2345. There at 431 Great Western Highway, Wentworthville just off the Cumberland Highway.

Cheers

Did a search, and this seemed to be the longest thread in the nsw section, Anyone got any other recommendations for getting a respray done?

Current is currently Bayside blue, but paint is a bit shit, full of scratches and chipping. Also panel gaps are a bit shite. Want to get it resprayed in the same colour and some panel alignment/work done, so would only be a close door job I suppose. Engine bay is in white already, so can't really be stuffed with that. Would be happy to have the car in the shop for a few months i needed. Asking up here, as the number of shops in canberra is limited.

Don't want/need a show quality finish, just need a nice job.

Louie does a top quality job for a great price. Give him a buzz and see when he can fit you in. His been respraying liners for SAU for years.

get it done in Thailand, i looked into it last week after noticing they love to rice out there cars, bikes and tuk tuks ect....

around 10 000 baht (around $350 AUD) for a whole car, any car depending on how hard the paint is to mix up, and the jobs i saw were equivalent to our standards here, and when you think of it, why are our spray painters charging us so much anyway? not like they went to uni and studied for 7 years to do it....

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
