hey all, just curious if i could get some rough prices on spraying a full bodykit, and for spraying a whole car (r33) im still deciding whether i should spray just the kit as im getting a new one, or spraying the whole thing.

if someone could give me some rough prices on both, or some websites for workshops in vic that i can browse that would be great

PS ive tried searching, but no luck.

peace

i checked the sticky, only DT panels didn't have a #, everyone else did.

depending where you are, if you're on a budget, DT Panels or Primal Garage (don't have personal experience) - one is east, one is west.

seriously, search harder... panel beaters/spray jobs/body kits, etc... those threads pop up with regularity in the Vic section.

... 800-1500 for a full respray + kit. I know some places thats all they charge... but you pay for good work. I'll just say that much.

Micolour will be substantially more than that, but then the work is without fault.

Also where is the kit coming from?

If its a copy kit... A lot of the time it isn't going to fit. There will be work required to make it fit correctly.

Hell even transit can warp body kits etc. So its highly likely.

Id' budget 3k at the bare minimum. If it was my car, i'd be budgeting 5k.

As ive said before... any spray can look good. Its 5-10years later that the really good work shines when the cheaper jobs fail due to poorer materials, prep and so on associated with low cost.

Oh, and most places dont have websites... its hard to quote anything online without seeing the car. Always best to take it for a visual.

Cheers

From the two shops you mentioned, i would recommend DT Panels and not the other one.

Some panel shops create an orange peel effect on your panel. This shows the quality of the work. Experience from many people showed that we shouldn't be too anal about the cost, it is the effort put into the spray painting.

lol yea im not going to swap my house for a paint job on my car, if, IF the paint starts to look dodgy after 5 years, ill get another paint job, it will still be under 5k or 10k$

it might look dodgy but maybe i should just get the panels that have the damage on them sprayed? im just afraid the colour will be to different, i mean, the origional paint on the car hasnt faded bugger all, so perhaps im in the good!

PS its not a show car, its my everyday car, there will be stone chips etc, so im not gonna be extremely anal about it, aslong as its a decent job with no paint variations or bodgy paint spraying...

    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
