There is an excellent paint shop at the end of the street my works on. I can't remember their name offhand but they do repairs/ paint for collectable classics and often have classic/ euro stuff in there. A bloke at work had his Gemini painted there, it cost him 8k and he did all the prep work. I'll get their name for you tomorrow.

why would you want a 10-15k paintjob for?

showcar paint.

still a couple things to do. and it will take along time to paint. most quotes have been around that price for what he wants.

Some places dont even want to touch it.

THE best paint and pannel;

Cafasso Motor Body Repairs 96- 100 Richmond Rd Keswick SA 5035 ph: (08) 8371 1933

Mostly deal with Porsche and Mercedes, but also do restorations/classic etc.

Sorry, the best would be Des Higgins Coachbuilder

I believe he is one of only 2 agents for Bently, Daimler and Rolls Royce.

I have never seen a workshop as clean as his. I wouldnt eat off of his floor for fear of leaving crumbs or a stain.

a couple of those plases cafasso and des higgins, are great bodywork shops. eg metal finishing etc, but if you want show paint, come to hounslow crash repairs, we do alot of show cars including the candy apple re vl calias (MRVLT) and many other custom paint jobs, were at lonsdale. numbers in the yellow pages.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
