Spray Painting

[Lwood]

I have just recently brought a skyline r33 GTS 1993, don't get me wrong i love the car its just the paint is not the colour i want, its white and i want to get it painted black.

Only problem is i have gone to about 4 or 5 places and there quotes have been all over the place i've had anything from $1800 down to $600, Ive asked a couple of mates and they reckon that the cheaper places do a dodge job and your better paying good money to get it done well. I'm sure a few of you have had this done and i wanted to know what price range should i be looking in?

Also what is a good black colour code.

[Wacky Dee]

I believe GV1 is the nissan code for black ..looks nice but I'm not sure about changing the colour of the car so dramatically ... $1800 is pretty cheap if they're gonna do it properly incl. all doors frames, engine bay etc

$1800 is what i would consider cheap, a mate of mine just paid $1800 to paint his bonnet, front + rear bars and to blend into the front door and a full cut and polish. That was through another mate of mine who normally only does resto's so the quailty of the work in 2nd to none

you need to spend $4000 and up for a real job,$10,000 for a top job.

$1800 was the guys next door's quote he owns a smash repair shop, and i got some really cheap quotes of other places and thats was why i was curious...

Looks like the really cheap ones would be a majorly dodgy job!

i work in a custom paint shop who only do show cars, if you want a really good job then your looking at around 7k + worth every cent once its done, only use house of kolor to, the paint alone cost around 2.7k

with the 2000 paint jobs they only normally last around 4 years then they start to flake, with the more expencive ones they will last up to 20 years! and you can get some of the sweetest colors around like kandys and stuff.
