Paint And Panel Shop

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

Hey guys,

I have an Impul front bumper ( the damged one, has now been fixed and in primer))

but ive called 3 shops in redcliiffe (( one of which fixed my damage from when someone keyed it))

and yet, they have all quoted a amount i didnt think possible just to paint a front bumper..

one quoted 400.. but subject to change when inspected, the ther 385 ( again subject to change) and the last quote 550 (( all said thats jsut painting the bumper, not fitting etc etc (( it came off a SAU members car so fitting is not an issue for me)

now im sorry i cant see how a simple spray and colour match can cost that much...

so can anyone recommend to me somewhere that is sensible yet does a fantastic job?

or is this simply what it costs to paint a front bumper???

thanks in advance,

Bryn

pm tuff33 off here. he has a few things up for sale in the local classifieds section

he may be able to help you out. did my old r33 when i had a front collision, for a fantastic price.

That's the going rate I'm afraid...most places I went to after copping a hit in the front all wanted ~$400

Now on another matter, what condition is your current front bar in Bryn....PM me with a price for it.

3 or 4 yrs ago you could get a front bar resprayed for around $200...unfortunately as with everything else the cost of labour has gone up significantly as well.

Tried DMD or Camerons bodyworks or JEtspeed in Slacks Creek? If you want a proper job then I reckon $300-$400 is quite reasonable.

I got cameron to quote on spray painting my bootlid and fixing up some rust and welding up the holes for the wing last year and that was quoted at close to $600.

the reason its so much is cause its fiberglass, im a painter n seriously there a prick to work on, there full of pin holes n wavey and you cant put heat on them cause it makes them warp n crack.. i primed and blocked a monkey warehouse (considered good quality) 180sx BN front bar 4 times and it still looked dodgey.. its just one of those things where its worth someone doin it properly.. where are you located? we dont like doin them but we like workin on good cars so yeh

Perfection Body Works at Wynnum is awesome

there number is 3396 6676 ask for Tony

DMD will do a good job. Going rate unfortuniately is around the 400 mark. So id say thats what your going to find the price at most places mate.

[R33_Rob]

forgot to mention that Perfection Body Works charge $300 paint/fit

front bar - $300

side skirts -$300

rear bar -$300

spoiler -$300

bonnet - $200

$350 to $400 is the going rate especially with silver as its a bitch to paint.
