Painting A R33 Boot And Drift Wing...

[Gazee]

Hey all i thaught no better place to ask how much i'd expect to pay to paint a r33 boot lid and drift wing.. i walked into a panel beater just down the road from my place and asked how much to paint a boot and drift wing would cost.. he asked if i was quoted before and i said no... he said $800 to paint it...

I was thinking is that the normal price i'd be expecting from everyone i'd go to? i was wondering if anyone's painted them and wether they paid that much or what the go is?

Thanks heaps everyone!

prob about $400-$600 $800 is bullshit concidering a kit costs $1000 to paint

Yea i kinda thaught so... i was a bit stunned when he said that, and then he was saying if i want to blend the wing in with the boot he wont guarantee the work cos apparently it'll crack when i close my boot... oh well.. i just suppose i'll keep looking around

I got my guards fitted and painted for $400... and it was fkn hard to fit them..

So I would imagine it'd cost me $150-200 for painting a bootlid and wing since it would be alot easier.

i got quoted $400 to respray my whole bootlid in pearl....cutting out and rewelding a rust spot and removing wing and welding up holes...so $800 is bullshit...the fact tht he's asked u if u have been quoted before if proof he's trying to rip you.

yea he seemed like the type of cocksukr that would do that...

now i'd understand paying $400 for what you got done but the fact that i said to him "all i want to do is give you a boot and you spray it.." pissed me off when he said $800 lol I asked him if he'd blend it in for that much with the guards and he said no thats extra LOL

f**k that for a joke... but hey thanks for your help ppl... i might try and get someone that does the work on the side to paint it for me as apposed to going to someone who has to pay over heads and rent and shit... its not a show car after all lol

I got a quote for $450 to cut out rust, change boot locks, remove old spoiler, weld holes and respray.

Where in Melbourne was that?

[Gazee]

well i got the bootlid and lip done... has anyone had any problems with the drift/stealth wings how they don't line up properly? as in theres a bit of a gap on the left of the boot as apposed to the right...

[TramanBaba]

how much did it cost you?

[sinistaGTR]

had that problem, did you get it from psi parts, mine either sat in the middle, or sat nicely on either side with about an inch gap on the other side, i end up and cut and re fibreglass mine

[Gazee]

how much did it cost you?

$190 for the lip/wing and $250 for paint and fit

yea dude i did actually, its got a nice gap on the left of it, but i think its gona come off and at least go in the middle cos it looks a bit wierd

[sinistaGTR]

yeh same problem, but as i posted i went f**k it lol and cut and shut looks sweet now

[joe blo]

apparently psi parts had done a new mould to make them fit better. hopefully there better than what ur talking about

[Spunky Munky]

way too expensive; whole boot would be $300 - there $450.00 is max IMO

i'm not following what your trying to say...

joe blo - my mate/ panel beater said apparently it was the only way it could sit on the boot without the little lips on the sides sticking up, so he said in about a month or something he's going to re do it, but he said he can't paint over fresh paint cos it gives needs to set properly or something like that...

hey sinista how long would you say it took you to do the cut n shut job on it?

[sinistaGTR]

a weekend more like a saturday and a fibreglass kit and a bit of bog

[Gazee]

coool so basically what you did was cut it down the middle? and extended it by about an inch or something? or did you extend the side of the wing?

[sinistaGTR]

yep cut it down the middle and did it that way, took a bit of time just you have to get the inside strong enougn to hold
