Wtf - Go Figure This Guy

[stomper]

So go figure this one, i drop by my local spray shop to ask how much they are looking at for a full colour change re-spray. Straight off he says $15k and thats for just the same colour. Now i have an R33 GTST in AN0, which for all those that don't know is wine red. I would love to have a nice cobalt blue or canary yellow, which once my body kit arrives would look sweet.

Then the dude says that i should just sell the 33 and buy a 34. Fair enough, but i actually like my 33.

Is this guy just to F*cken soft to say that he cannot be arsed to do the job, so he sledges the car and prices himself out of the market. He wasn't exactly rushed off his feet! (sat on his arse at 3 in the arvo having a chat)

Anyone know a good body shop that would do a full spray job; a combo of new gel coat body kit and existing wine red 33 for a price that doesn't equate to nearly half a GTR! Happy to travel to most places in the immediate Sydney area. Personal recommendations appreciated along with any pics of the work they have done for you..

Cheers all

Louie @ Xclusive colours

Good price and good workmanship

he's on cumberland highway in smithfield, right next to Pirtek which is next to Hungry Jacks. Nice Pink building.

Dont have a phone number on me.... but search in the NSW forums and there will be a thread there

15k for a respray!*%#

[adam-__-]

ahaha $15k. I wonder why this guy just didn't go straight out and say that he won't do it. Probably knew some people were dumb enough to pay that so just said 15K and if you said yes, he would've done it. haha

yeah its a common paint/panel tactic, put a rediculous price on a job they dont really want to do.

its happened in every shop ive worked, its easier and more profitable to do smaller-medium sized jobs compared to big ones.

[NA_Goodness]

For $15k, your looking at show quality candy work!! You can get decent clolour changes for $5k or so. That's what I've heard anyway, probs not door jams or engine bays, but still a colour change.

lol you might as well buy a cheapy R34 with 15K

There's D & D Auto Refinishers, call 9398 2268 and ask for John

Their address is 1 Lingard St in Randwick near intersection of Alison Rd and Avoca St

yeah i would say that he couldnt be farked to do the work. 15k you can buy your own booth nearly.

[kuma j]

seems he just doesnt want the business so best off going somewhere else.

as for spray shops depends on how far your willing to travel. i know a guy who lives in young and does some of the best work i have ever seen. sure its a long way from sydney but personally i think its worth the trip.

ill see if i can get some photos of his work and ill post up some contact details.

Hi,

$15K is the standard quote for a burial plot for your car with you in it.

The only condition is that you pay up front for the job and they guarantee "No Complaints"!

Nepean Valley Smash owned by Jason & Mal Gower (brother and father of Craig Gower) do great things for special cars. They use Glazurit paint which is the same on Mercs and BMs. Call 02-47353522 for a quote which should be very reasonable.

Regards,

Terry

with that 15k + the money he gets if he sells his car, he can probably afford a r33 gtr
