i work at a crash repairer and i can tell you it is not cheap. would be cheaper staying the same colour than changing the colour. doing the engine bay will add alot more money to the job too.

so how many slabs of beer will it take to have you respray the nose of my car, just touch up stuff and a ding , I dont have the gear here to do a proper job or the clean area to do it.lol

you should never mention skills, maybe would could trade skills if you need anything done..?

Car Cosmetics at Lonsdale they are awsome and very well priced ...

Im going to say it and i dont care if it gets taken down or what ever.

That dude is shit, plain and simple. He done my GTR, had some rust where the rear right mudflap screws to the body. I told him i wanted it cut out and sprayed as i will keep the car for a while, and i had to go through regency (for an unrelated defect but i dont want dodgy shit) I got it back and was just full of fiber fill, topped off with bog and painted. I confronted him about it and he didnt want to have a bar of it and said i told him to fiber fill it, haha ok what ever.

I ended up going to extensive restorations at lonsdale, they cut the inner and outer skin out and made new ones and welded it in, much better. Cost the same amount as bringing to BOGmetics too.

If you want someone skilled in the art of bog sculpting go to car cosmetics, i think its all he knows.

To save making another thread.....anyone got a rough idea on how much it will cost to get the holes in the front guards for the side indicators covered (Preferably metal as they are standard guards)?

Best to just take them to a local welding shop and ask them if they will do a cashy. it shouldn't take them long to do, should only cost an hour or two of labour. Then just give them to paint shop and they will be able to bog them up and smooth them out.

Performance Spray Painting & Crash on stanbel rd, salisbury plains.

They just did my HR31, new roof skin, closed doors respray but colour change, some old front damage fixed, welded up holes in boot and where antenna was, rust cut out behind tail light = $5200 (including remove + replace all windows and seals)

I used to work there and only ever saw top quality work in that place. The owner, George is a gun spray painter with some of the best blending/colour matching skills ive ever seen. And doesnt charge through the asshole.

Has sprayed plenty of old classics and show cars too

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
