If you are as picky as me, I'd be budgeting atleast around $8000 for a full respray. Means all windows come out, all new seals etc. Some good workshops around... All Type Crash I've heard good things about, I use and SWEAR by All Make Crash.

Had a very bad experience with one of the "big" workshops here in SA, I won't name them but I definately wasn't impressed with their workmanship.

End of the day, it all comes down to how deep your wallet is and just what you consider a "good job"

How much money u got to spend?

Would u wanna sand back the car yourself?

resprays can range from 3k to 12k

My recommendation is Edwardstown custom body repairs if u got the money to spend. Or if u wanna sand it all back yourself my mate who works there might be able to do a cashy on the side.

yeah 3k wont get you much these days, as with an old car like a 33 things are usually perished or very fragile when you remove them, and tend to break.

Even materials along cost abit, sand paper, prepsol, primer,paint,clear, nuts/bolts everything has to be taken into account.

Like Luke said, for 3k you won't get much... My saying is, if you are gonna do it, you might as well do it properly. Imagine how pissed you'd be spending 3k only to get a finish you aren't happy with?

Money down the drain isn't it, and back to square one

do you really need a respray or a really good detail? I'd be willing to give it a go cheap if the paint isnt destroyed already? save you a bunch of money, I redid mine after I priced the respray...lol and I'm picky ..lol

Although I haven't had any experience with them Tom Howard did a good job of colour matching the orange/gold pearl when Flick got the fibreglass guards painted.

Tom Howard did a good job colour matching part of the underbody with my side panels ;)

and All Type Crash... I'm not too keen on going back there.

This is from another thread, im to lazy to re-write it :blink:

If you are after a full respray its gana cost you around 8-10k. If you take out the motor and interior and prep that in 2pac primer it will be around 5k. If your good with a spray gun i would paint the engine bay,cabin and door jams in the colour you want and that will be around 2-3k to finish the job. If your good with body work i would take it further and prep the outside in 2pac primer and that will be around 1k to paint the outside.

these are prices from some of Adelaide best places

Don't think he does powdercoating ... not that I was aware he had the equipment.

Looked at that link, the map is slightly incorrect. His 'shed' is at the right hand bend of Chapman Road on the left ... furthest shed in the corner of the lot. There is a chroming specialist next door to him. One stop shop :P

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
