Hey cosmokram3r,

Let me know how you get on... My 33 had an unfortunate conversation with a brick letterbox and I am possibly considering just having it repaired and then a full respray (I can get it repaired for a couple of hundred bucks, but it's about $700/$800 with painting... so if it works out at like $2000 for a full respray then it might be worth it as the paint's in 'alright' condition... nothing too flash).

$1500 will almost certainly be a cheap, bad quality job

I was kinda thinking along those lines... I would have expected amore in the region of $2000-$3000, possibly up to $4000

If you sand back and prime the whole car yourself it's more like $700 :banana:

I had a quarter panel of mine done at Imperial Finish Body Works on Centre Rd in Springvale. Came out great, happy to recommend them. Don't know about prices for full respray though. Believe the owners name is Murray.

my mate told me the panel beaters that would do it for around $1500-2000 are in noble park a few shops down from noble maccas.. i heard DT panels is good but expensive so yehhh wandering now if it would be better to go to the place my mate was talking about, he had his car done there because my mate brings him business, sanded it all down himself think it cost him around $1000, if you've noticed a ferrari red r32 around noble/dande area thats it it looks real good.. i just didnt know how much resprays usually go for, so wasnt sure about the $1500-2000 price if it was good or bad, sounds like a top price now

$4-5k for a proper respray

yeh i agree 4-5k sounds bout right. thats what i got quoted for a full respray. If your willing to travel a bit Gal Smash Repairs on Garden Drive in Tullamarine are pretty good.

give him a buzz and speak to Dave, he'll sort you out.

I'm a spray painter and I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

If you pay $1500 for a full respray, it'll probably look pretty good for the first 6months... until the paint starts to peel off on all the edges of the panels...

Also, for that price, don't ecpect that anything will be removed from the car... I mean, everything will be masked up and also, don't expect that ANY form of repairs will be done... I'm talking, no stone chips filled in, no car park din''ts fixed, etc etc..

Bsaically, if you love your car... being a tight arse now is gonna cost you more later.

DT Panels expensive????? hahaha, your mates are on drugs

$2K - $2.5k is dirt cheap for a respray and a $1-$1.5k i wouldn't even classify as a respray... more like just a "spray"

If you're fussy, realistically you gotta spend upwards of $4k, more like $5k+

If you want a killer job, Mr Gloss is in Moorabbin, don't expect much change from $8k though.

Spray painting is about a close a real world example of 'you get what you pay for' as you'll ever get.

good luck! (my car was resprayed at DT Panels)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
