Respray In Se Suburbs

[cosmokram3r]

Hey guys, I need to get a respray mostly for my quarter panel but im just gonna do a whole car instead, what happend was the paint on the quarter panel is cracking, my mate says its from the sun due to i think it being hit in japan.. im looking for pretty much an all black respray, i heard it would end up being about $1500 do you guys have any good prices or places near Dandenong to do it?

Thanks

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

I dont know anyone in the east, but try primal garage in the west.

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).

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

look up DT panels in Springvale, they r opposite the train station

$1500 for a full spray is dirt cheap, who ever told u that is either talking shit or paint job itself will be shit

[DogKnight]

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.

try Ozgloss, 43 Bennet street Dandy. I've seen some cars that have been done there, really good finish. price may be abit more than you're willing to spend but worth a shot.

DT panels

in springvale

alot of friends have gone there to have all sorts of work done and all good work

[cosmokram3r]

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

DT Panels FTW!!

Who told u DT was expensive? Prices are great!

[cosmokram3r]

[HIZOKU]

DT Panels.

PM evilsub on here, he'll look after you

[Bass Junky]

In My Sig

$4-5k for a proper respray

[cosmokram3r]

msg'd evilsub.. but yehh 2500 seems like a good price ill have to talk to my mate first just to see if he could get me that 1500-2000 deal from that panel beaters in noble park

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.

[KamikazeR33]

i had my r33 fully done engine bay n door sills etc for 5.5

[GTR VspecII]

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 do the best job on a budget

[SS8_Gohan]

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)
