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

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
