I think the point here has been missed. Sure you can do it cheaper yourself but there is no way the job you do will be anywhere near the quality of Louies. What you get with him is genuine top quality work at a good price. Comparing Louie to a home job is an insult to him.

As for:

It's aggressive and uncalled for. Keep it to yourself or warnings will be handed out.

i think you missed the point here. im comparing his work to every other paint job ive had on my cars. as sam916 said, $350 for a front bar respray with a lip in WHITE is a bit pricey. white is the easiest colour to work with, so i gave my opinion. we do still believe in freedom of speech dont we?

as for my comment, someone called me a tightass over nothing. i didnt like it so i made it clear that i didnt like it. im not a little bitch that will take shit from people and say/do anything about it. and if you want to give me a warning over that then do it. ill see it as a constant reminder as to how stupid sau moderators can be sometimes.

Joe there are smarter ways to get your point across without coming across so rude mate, people might be more accepting of your views and points if it was laid out as a discussion and not as an argument. People are not always going to see eye to eye. I'm lazy and would rather pay some one else to do the work on my car than to do it myself, thats my angle it. You would rather spend money on tools that would allow you to do the work yourself not just for the one thing but for more projects you have in the future and to also expand your abilities when it comes to working your car, and thats awesome too.

So if some one rubs you the wrong, how about you explain your point of view next time instead of jumping on the defensive straight away.

And if there was a warning, it might be a good idea to take that as a chance to reflect on your actions not the actions of the moderators.

I personally have 2 different shades of white on my car thanks to the job done by a very reputable panel shop. I've seen it on other white cars too.

It wouldn't have happened if Louie painted it, I can guarantee you that.

im not rude to anyone who isnt rude to me first mate.

calling me aggressive isnt a smart thing to do when im not being aggressive in the first place. i was making it clear that i dont want to be talked to that way. adam saw it as aggressive and was wrong. call me a name to my face and ill say exactly the same thing.

just like mods give warnings. why cant i give social warnings myself? i dont see that as being aggressive at all. would you rather i grabbed the old baseball bat and went down to his house? thats not how things are done :)

Joe you are being agressive. Keep it up and I'm happy to ban you. This is not a democracy with free speech it is Prank's kingdom and the admins and mods are bitches that do his bidding. If you don't like it start www.joesskylinekingdom.com and set your own rules there.

everyone is seeing this in whatever light they want to like its some kind of drama.

i wasnt being aggressive, ive got better things to do than pick fights with people on the internet.

ive got a problem with mods seeing someone call me a tightass and expect me to sit around like a loser.

its time for you guys to get over it.

hi to all.... good to see the location of the new shop is getting known on skyline australia. if anyone wishes to come for a quote dont hesitate to give me a call to make an appointment.

For those who are worrying about colour matching have no fear louie is hear.

They way i read it... Anthony was more aggressive to begin with.. although he has a point, his demeanor was definitely more aggressive.

Anyhooo.. i wonder what Louie would charge for a front end respray....

Roughly how much would it be to spray metallic black front, rear and side? Approx.?

best to give him a call and have a talk to him yourself. if its a kit from jetspeed or carmate expect ot be paying more as more work goes into getting a quality finish.

also note that if you are after a bodykit have a talk to him and see what he'll be able to do.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
