hey i went to wangara PDS spraypainting to get a quote on how much to spray my front bumper which is a m series front and has like nothing on it as ive cut all the middle part out and trimmed the sides you could nearly spray the whole thing in one huge swing of the arm! anywho.. he said $350 for the job and he said since its an old car we will have to blend it into the guards too to make it look better etc.. quoted $100 a guard so the whole job $550 rather than just saying yes as i usually do i thought there must be better places.. altho i dont know cause ive never had to get anything sprayed on any of my cars before, so can someone suggest a cheaper place etc? would be much appreciated.

I just sprayed my own bonnet, fenders and headlight eyebrows; cost me $168 all up :)

Lol, if you are near the hills, there is a guy that works for himself at a place called Stonehouse in Sawyers Valley, he did an awesome job of painting my spoiler and only charged me $150 when every other place quoted me $350-$400. Definitely recommend him.

thanks for the current suggestions, dont get me wrong martin if i could do it myself i would but like to spray a whole front bumper i duno if i could do that, ive done the interior before no probs but im thinkin a whole front bumper, bit out of my leauge, i could but like if u give me some steps maybe i cud have a go at this.. pm me? cheers

Sounds like a normal price from my experience getting quotes on panel & paint.

I got a few quotes on painting/fitting gtr rear pods and repair(fibreglass)/paint/refit front bumper and was quoted $400-800 from various places.

One rule I have with spray painting is never shop for the cheapest price or try to haggle the price down.

If a job is quoted cheaper by someone it's usually for the reason that they'll cut corners to get the job.

The quote you've been given seems reasonable to me

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
