my girlfriend got some wheels done for $25 each (sandblasted and coated) there pretty decent as well.

they were done somewhere in lonsdale. i think it was lonsdale power coaters or something, granted, it could have been AAA. i have no idea

Hate to revive an old topic, but has anyone had some work done recently they can suggest?

certainly, marshall powder coaters in wingfield. the guy is super cool, he actually likes doing car parts because he does a hell of a lot of fencing and it gets boring lol.... he also has a sandblaster mate who works a few streets over, so you can get it all done at the same place.

oh, and it doesnt cost much at all! I had a bunch of pieces done (engine covers, strut braces, diverter etc) for under $150 incl sandblasting

-D

I had some stuff done by Morestel Powder Coaters in North Plympton. I has happy with them.

My engine covers are being done in candy blue by them next week ! $30 a cover very decent price indeed, will have to see how they turn out.

went to a powder coaters, had the worst wheel with gutter rash to quote from but its not as bad as it looks, guy said he would have to hand file it, but from my toolmakers point of view its barelt past the paint besides the edge of the rim. Guess i will call around a bit more. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

+1. Pretty rad dude running the joint. Good prices too.

And Art Metal Coatings in Holden Hill get a recommendation from me too.

Had my rims powder coated a few weeks ago by

Edwardstown Powdercoating

Called a few local places in adelaide, and these guys by far were the cheapest and had the quickest turn around.

The rims came out looking awsome.

Very friendly guys too.

Thinking I will go with Edwardstown too - Most conveniant for me and not badly priced - found cheaper but sometimes you get what you pay for. My only problem now is they asked if I wanted a clear coat over the silver.....

well, got my covers back from EDITED

can certainly say for anyone looking, do not even consider them

i was told 30 bucks a cover and itd take two days,

dropped em off monday, they laugh at me on tuesday and say it takes over a week to do them.

i got them back today somehow, huh.gif

they said i can only take my covers when i pay 200 CASH.

me being in a rush to get my car running didnt even think of them over charging me by 80 bucks

i told them to tape up my breather connections, they didnt

the paint work is f*&king crap.

rocker covers fade from light to dark from one end to the other, valley cover the opposite direction.

3 covers need re-doing

anyway

hope i can somehow get my money back

doubtful.

anyone know what i can do in this situation?

seeing as i have no receipt or written quote.

Wow, that really sucks to hear. I had a had a good experience with them, and so has Luke_ENR34, which was why I went with them.

Did you pay cash or card? I am guessing cash since you said "they said i can only take my covers when i pay 200 CASH", in which case I would have asked for a receipt. If you paid card then you have a money trail you can use to go to the ACCC with maybe.

However if it was painted it wasn't their handy work, but should still liable for it as they suggested to use the painters, and organized it for you. Maybe speak to the ACCC anyway and see what can and can't be done.

They said they don't take eftpos. rang them up then told them about the crap paint job the response ' you get that in the paint' asked why I was charged 80 bucks more. ' it's a 250 buck job you got it cheap because it requires two coats - sparkle and blue. I originally was quoted 120 for the job where did this extra money come from ? they stuffed me around all week . I just hung up. I need 3 covers re done. Waste of money.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
