How Much Would It Cost To Spray Fornt Bar?

[boostn0199]

Just want to get a fibreglass front bar sprayed in white ive prepped it and all so its ready to go with primer and top coat wondering how much average panel beater would charge as I cbf geting my equipment out and setup and buying paint if its gona be like 100.

[R31Nismoid]

Totally depends on the quality of the job, the paint used, panel beater you take it to and so on.

^and if u want a receipt i doubt that i would exceed 200 if you are going to drop off just the bar ready for a spray. but having said that you may get a pretty crap job, the clear coat is really important because in 10,000km you may end up with heaps of stone chips everywhere

[boostn0199]

There is no need for clear coat on white colour just needs to be polished doesnt it. Well when paiting with acrylic lacquer anyway.

Why would you be using acrylic paint?

I pay $200 for the bar, and $200 for the lip for re-fiberglass / respray work at DT panels, prices vary of course depending on your front bar.

I do know that the front lip takes 10+mins to remove with a couple of people doing it

I wouldn't even go near the latter that you recommend. DT Panels will be the place to go for a budget spray.

Well yeah my budget is 100 which is giving them the front bar on its own all prepped and ready to spary if its over 100 then I might aswel do it myself cause it will cost me like 60 or 70 to buy primer and paint, might give dt panels a call though as Ive heard there prices pretty good anyway give me a number?

why's that he is asking for a budget spray they will provide him with one? dont pull out some story that you expected top notch work or something cos if thats the case shame on you for not knowing better

[boostn0199]

i called dt panels they wanted 350 for me bringing it prepeed and all ready to spray i thought they were budget lmao? I wonder how much they would of wanted if I said fit and they had to prep it and yeah Im not after a show room finish just a acceptable one so no runs and stuff but you get what I mean

[blind_elk]

Mine cost $500 a few years ago (Holloway Panels, Bayswater) - included a bit of work to reinforce some thin areas.

[Curmi]

just search around go to heaps of panel shops and spray painters and get quotes find the cheapest one and make them paint it.

[boostn0199]

ive pretty much decided your not going to find for $100 so Im gonna paint it myself bought the paint cost me 60

Yeah I can spray no worries ive done my rear skirts hood inteiror and other parts on my other car the question here was I was just thinking if could get it done for 100bux it would of cost the same as doing it myself by buying the paint and time and effort.

Not sure if this helps, but parkmore smash repairs do an awesome job, im taking my car to him on tuesday $250 to spray the front bar and lip on a black 32 gtr.
